Jurriën Timber is a Dutch defender who joined Arsenal from Ajax in 2023. Versatile enough to play at right-back or in the middle, he is a smooth, technical player with a strong tackle and good recovery speed, and he came through the Ajax academy.
His arrival gave Mikel Arteta a defender who can step into midfield when Arsenal have the ball, and his comfort in tight spaces fits the side’s possession game. He has also had to overcome serious injury early in his Arsenal career, which makes his consistency since returning all the more notable. He is Dutch, wears number 12 and has become a trusted starter at right-back.
