Jurrien Timber admits there’s one ‘amazing’ youngster at Arsenal who he’s seriously excited about
Amid all of the injuries Arsenal have suffered this season, Jurrien Timber’s continued fitness should be seen as a real positive.
Timber missed almost the entirety of his debut season at Arsenal owing to a knee injury suffered du𒊎ring the opening Premier League gᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚame of the season.
And now back fit, the Dutchman has had a lot of responsibility on his shoulders this seas𒐪on given the abse😼nce of both Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu at right-back.
However, Timber has coped admirably with the amount of games he’s had to start with limited turnaround, a defender who will con🌊tinue to be crucial for Mikel Arteta.
Of course, Timber now has a new partner on the right wing – young Hale End sensation Ethan Nwaneri.
The 17-year-old is already doing a remarkable job of covering for Bukayo Saka, and his pe♏rfoꦚrmances have certainly caught the eye of his Dutch teammate.
Jurrien Timber is excited to be part of Ethan Nwaneri’s journey at Arsenal
Ahead of facing PS💙V Eindhoven in the Champions League, a side Timber often dueled with in an Ajax shirt, the defender was asked about Nwaneri when appearing at Arsenal’s press conference.
Speaking via Hayters TV, Timber was asked what he thought about young Nwaneri’s potential, who is almost certain to🔯 start against PSV.
Timber said he was excited to see what the future holds for his young teammate, who he was actually hoping could make the differencꦿe in the first-leg of Arsenal’s Champions League tie.
Asked about Nwaneri’s development and ability to fit in Arse꧙nal’s first team group, Timber replied: “Yeah I think it’s amazing to see, amazing to be a part of, yeah I can’t wait [to see] what the future holds for💟 him.
“Hop𝕴efully tomorrow he can shoꦕw a little bit of magic, as well.”
Arsene Wenger suggested that Ethan Nwaneri might switch positions
Although Nwaneri has 🦂come through for Arsenal as a right-winger first and foremost, Arsene Wenger recently hinted at future position change for the Hale End gradu🐭ate.
Wenger was speaking to beIN SPORTS and said that Nwaneri reminded him of Cesc Fabregas, suggesting that Nwaneri might one day be 🅰well suited to central midfield role.
Wenger said: “Nwaneri is more of a creator of a final ball through his dribbling and the quality of his 𝓰passing.
“Of course, Fabregas was very strong𒐪 me💧ntally, but this boy looks it as well.
“When I look at him and his maturity, it’s difficult for me toꦏ think he’s 17🔯-years-old. The sign of a special talent is that they’re ready early.”
A superb young talent, and it speaks volumes that Nwaneri’s starting spo🐷t isn’t e♍ven up for debate against PSV.
That being said, Arteta needs to make one important change when th💜e Gunners restart their Champions L🎃eague campaign.
