Blow for Man United as Ten Hag's target agrees to join Arsenal
Ajax defender Jurrien Timber has reportedly agreed to join Arsenal this summer despite heavy links to Manchester United.
This was once again overturned in 2001 when he signed with Man United two years later for a whopping £30 million, breaking its record for the second time.
According to Daily Mail, Harry Maguire currently owns the record after joining Ferdinand's former team, Man United, in 2019 for a little under £80 million.
However, if Josko Gvardiol leaves Bundesliga team RB Leipzig this summer, it is anticipated that he will surpass this record.
