Mikel Arteta reacted to Arsenal signing Jurrien Timber

The Gunners already have the likes of William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, and Jakub Kiwior in their ranks. The addition of Jurrien Timber further enhances the team's power in the back line.

Mikel Arteta is excited to have the player in Arsenal's ranks. He spoke about Timber's move, telling the club's official media (via Arsenal's official website):

“We’re really excited that Jurrien has joined us. He is a versatile young defender, who will fit into our system and provide our squad with so much added quality."

Arteta added:

“Jurrien is a young player, but has already achieved so much. He has experienced what it’s like to go to a major international tournament on more than one occasion, as well as the trophies he has won with Ajax. We look forward to welcoming and integrating Jurrien into the squad.”

Timber was phenomenal for Ajax during the 2022-23 season. The 22-year-old completed the most passes in the final third in top European leagues as a defender. Fans might be in for exciting times ahead with the Dutchman.
