There are 3 years left for the current contract! BBC: Arsenal has started negotiations with Timber for new covenant, want to reward his performance

According to the latest news from the BBC, in order to reward right-back Timber's outstanding performance, Arsenal has negotiated with him on a new contract, which is expected to extend its contract term to the existing 2028.

reported that Arsenal has started preliminary negotiations with Timber on the signing of a new contract, and the club hopes to reward his contribution with the New Testament. The negotiations are still in an early stage, but all parties are interested in reaching an agreement to further extend their existing contracts that expire in 2028.

Timber, 24, transferred from Ajax for 40 million euros in the summer window of 2023, but his debut season at Emirates Stadium was almost reimbursed for an ACL injury in the first round. This injury caused him to only play once in the season. Fortunately, he successfully made a comeback in the 2024-25 season and played 51 games.

The defender continued to perform well this season, playing a key role in Arsenal's excellent start and consolidated his starting right-back position.

At the same time, the club is also negotiating with Saka on a long-term contract, and he is expected to sign it soon. The main central defender Saliba has completed a five-year contract renewal.
