Thierry Henry spotted with £8m player Arsenal are interested in signing at the Emirates yesterday

Arsenal fans will always be delighted to see Thierry Henry back at the Emirates stadium, especially when he has a potential transfer target in tow. 

And that was the case yesterday when Henry was seen greeting both Jurrien and Quinten Timber at the Emirates stadium.

Jurrien Timber uploaded footage to his of him and his brother meeting Henry in what appeared to be a recent visit to the club.

Timber was clearly very happy to be meeting a member of Arsenal’s iconic history and uploaded the story with the caption: “Legendeeeee.”

Of course, this moment is particularly interesting given Mikel Arteta’s side have been scouting Quinten Timber since signing his brother.

The midfielder has been in fine form for Feyenoord and has been attracting attention from Europe’s top clubs as a result.

Some Arsenal fans were quick to jovially suggest that Quinten would now be signing for the club in the near future after this footage emerged.

And in actual fact, that may not be the worst idea for Arteta’s side.

Whilst a striker is seen as the priority signing by fans looking on, a midfielder could actually be more beneficial with Arsenal’s recent woes in mind.

Thierry Henry meets potential Arsenal target Quinten Timber at Emirates stadium

After back to back defeats, it now feels as if Arsenal do need to make the most of the January transfer window.

A lack of creativity and goals has been the biggest issue in the previous two defeats, something a new midfielder could solve.

Kai Havertz could definitely be the solution for Arsenal’s poor finishing if he was able to be deployed higher up the pitch.

However, Thomas Partey’s injury has drastically changed Arteta’s midfield plans, meaning Declan Rice is needed in the pivot.

But if Arsenal were to sign a player like Quinten Timber or a number six in January, that could free both Rice and Havertz to shift up the pitch.

Therefore, Timber’s appearance with Henry at the Emirates stadium recently could potentially bode well for Arsenal.

That being said, one pundit thinks Arsenal will regret any decision to pass on a £15m transfer target this month
