"Timber will be a good addition to Arsenal"

Jurrien Timber fits with Arteta's vision for a young, hungry team. The youngster has played in a back four for Ajax, as centre-back, but has been playing at the international level in a back three.
This checks Arteta's box for versatility of squad members, as Arsenal struggled towards the end of last season with injuries. Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand spoke about the Dutchman's versatility and skills on his YouTube podcast and believes the defender can help the Gunners a lot.
"He's quick, he can play, he's good on the ball. He'll be a good addition to the team. I think he's an improvement on what they've got as well. I'd probably look at it and say him and Saliba might play. But I think it's a good battle there.
"If Timber comes and they've got Saliba, Gabriel, Ben White and Timber as a four, I'd be very, very comfortable with that if I was Mikel Arteta," he claimed.
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the Dutch side and the English club have already reached a full agreement for the 22-year-old to join the Gunners in the coming weeks. He will play at the Emirates Stadium until 2028.
