"Arsenal are understood to be among the clubs keeping an eye on Jurrien Timber's twin brother Quentin, currently on the books at Feyenoord. As first reported in my exclusive here for the Daily Briefing, the 24-year-old Dutchman is nearing the end of his contract at Feyenoord, with Borussia Dortmund leading the race for his signature. Still, my sources tell me that the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham could also be three clubs in the mix for Timber's signature next summer."
"The issue, however, is that Dortmund's interest seems to be stronger, and there's not an obvious need for him in Mikel Arteta's current squad. Declan Rice and Martin Zubimendi are the clear first choice pairing in the Arsenal midfield, while Christian Norgaard is a reliable backup. Timber probably wouldn't play often at AFC, so BVB could make more sense for him if he wants to get regular minutes."
Quinten Timber, the 24-year-old twin brother of Jurrien Timber, is nearing the end of his Feyenoord contract and attracting transfer interest. Borussia Dortmund lead the race and could move in January if Feyenoord attempt to secure a fee rather than lose him for free. Arsenal, Manchester United and West Ham are monitoring the midfielder, and Arsenal have tracked him since signing his brother. Arsenal's midfield depth — Declan Rice, Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard — reduces Timber's immediate chances of regular play, while Elliot Anderson remains a higher-priority midfield target for Arsenal.
