Arsenal have reportedly opened talks with versatile defender Jurriën Timber over a new contract, with the Dutch international an increasingly prominent figure under Mikel Arteta.
The Gunners have already tied Gabriel, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri and William Saliba down to new long-term deals in recent months, rewarding each of the quartet with improved terms to reflect their impressive performances. Leandro Trossard has also signed a new contract, but he was afforded a pay rise without extending the length of his agreement.
