He continued, “Of course, this is a bigger league, and everything is bigger here, I can see that immediately. This is the way they teach you in the youth already, and I’m happy I got to learn that at Ajax.”
He further went onto say that, “I think also that’s the reason they bought me and they want me, because they know I can play this style. And now it’s for me to show everyone and also in the Premier League that I can do the same things.”
As a right-footed defender who possesses speed and composure on the ball, Timber’s attributes align well with the Gunners’ playing style. He revealed, “I watched a lot of Arsenal’s games on TV last season, and I’m confident I can make a smooth transition to English football.”
