Juurien Timber has much love for Arsenal

Jurrien Timber has opened up and revealed why Arsenal are so important to him, amid the transfer speculation that a number of clubs are possibly eyeing up a transfer move at the end of the season.

Timber has established himself as a key part of Mikel Arteta’s fragile defence, playing at both right-back and centre-back, to help the ARSENAL‘ cement themselves as Premier League title favourites.

Liverpool, the reigning champions, meanwhile have struggled for consistency all season, especially at the back having already shipped a ton of goal this season. Captain Virgil van Dijk appears a shadow of his former self, while Trent Alexander-Arnold’s exit continues to be keenly felt.

That has led to all sorts of speculation and rumours in the media which have claimed that Liverpool will once again delve into that transfer kitty and add some more players to the side, with Timber possibly on the agenda for boss Arne Slot

However – the Dutchman has come out and reveled just how much Arsenal means to him, He said: “(I started supporting Arsenal) because my oldest brother was an Arsenal fan. Often you follow the ones you look up to, so I followed his club.

“I watched ARSENAL a lot when I was young, and eventually signing for Arsenal is a dream coming true, it was massive.”

“Sometimes you have to go back to that moment, that first moment when you signed, to understand the feeling of how proud you were, signing for Arsenal.”

“You know who I loved to watch when I was younger? Jack Wilshere. It was Robin van Persie as well of course, but he went to United, so the one I was enjoying a lot was Jack.

“He was someone that could do a lot from such a young age already, he played with so much courage, he was elegant, such a nice player to watch, he made Arsenal look nice.”

“I think it’s cooperation, not just the backline, I think it’s everyone. It’s something that the club (and) the manager have been working on for a long time.

“Me, I’m lucky to be a part of this group. The players I play with, lots of the defenders, I can learn from every day, and I think we make each other better.

“The standards are very high and that’s expected every single game; we make each other better, keep each other sharp and on our toes.”
