"It's clear from those numbers just how much Timber is contributing at both ends of the pitch, and Arsenal fans will be delighted to have such a complete player in that position. The international break has disrupted club football a little, but Arsenal fans can now look forward to watching Timber in action again this weekend with a trip to Fulham."
"Even if full-backs aren't the most glamorous position in football, we saw the importance of Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes for Paris Saint-Germain when they won the competition last season. With Timber now taking his game up a level, perhaps he can be a driving force for AFC in the Champions League as Mikel Arteta looks to help the club win the tournament for the first time in history."
Jurrien Timber joined Arsenal from Ajax in summer 2023 and missed much of his first season due to a serious injury. He recovered strongly, delivering consistent performances last season and showing further improvement this term. Data ranks him top of the Arsenal squad for tackles made and chances created so far this season, underlining contributions at both defensive and attacking ends. Ben White's injury has cemented Timber as the preferred right-back for the foreseeable future. Comparisons to high-impact full-backs such as Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes emphasize full-back value, and Timber's development raises hopes he can influence Arsenal's Champions League campaign.
