- Having displaced Ben White, the 24-year-old has established himself as Arsenal’s first-choice right-back and is starting regularly in that role.
- He has featured in all but one of Arsenal’s first seven Premier League matches and has produced two goals and two assists, including winning the penalty in the 2-0 win over West Ham as the club sits atop the table.
- Football Insider reports that Arsenal have opened early talks on a new deal to keep Timber beyond 2028, with Mikel Arteta publicly praising his comeback and importance to the team.
- In the Netherlands, columnists Mingus Niesten and Henk Spaan have criticized Koeman for limiting Timber’s minutes in September, arguing his club form merits a starting place.
