Jurrien Timber keeping himself sharp…

Arsenal star Jurrien Timber is ramping up his fitness during his summer break ahead of linking back up with the squad for pre-season.

The Dutch international played about an hour of competitive action for us last season following a serious knee injury suffered on the opening day of the Premier League campaign.

Common sense prevailed regarding Timber’s involvement in the Netherlands’ Euro 2024 campaign, with the 23-year-old not called up given his lack of match fitness.

Now, with Timber gearing up for pre-season ahead of hopefully being available to us in what will be like a new signing, the former Ajax man is training hard on holiday alongside his brother.

It will be exciting to see Mikel Arteta’s plans for Timber, considering how little we saw of him last season despite being one of our major recruits last summer.

Timber started the first game of last season at left-back and was introduced on the final day of the campaign as a right-back – illustrating his versatility.
