Recently, former Manchester United assistant coach Rene Meulensteen was interviewed. He suggested that Arteta consider signing Quinten Timber, the brother of team defender Timber, in the winter transfer window.
Julian Timber's twin brother Quinten Timber is a midfielder who currently plays for Feyenoord and is a member of the Dutch national team. Meulensteen is a huge admirer of both players and believes they can help Arsenal win the Premier League title this season.
Meulensteen said: "If Arsenal finally wins the championship, Julian Timber will be a key figure. He is very versatile and can play multiple positions. His brother Quinten Timber is also very good. Arsenal should pay attention to him. They are both excellent and I particularly like him. Love Julian. He brings the tenacity that Arsenal needs and he is obviously a very good player."
Quinten Timber started his career at Ajax before joining Utrecht and was named the club's Player of the Year in 2022. The 24-year-old was signed by Feyenoord in 2023 and helped the team win the Eredivisie championship. In 2024, Quinten also won the Dutch Cup and Dutch Super Cup with Feyenoord.
At the same time, Meulensteen believes that Arsenal forward Vijo Cres has similarities with the legendary Dutch striker Ruud van Nistelrooy: "Vijo Cres is strong and has a direct playing style. It is good for him to score again. He quickly established himself in Sporting CP after leaving Brighton. He also performed very well in an offensive team like Arsenal."
"He will have a lot of opportunities and needs to seize these opportunities. Van Nistelrooy is a pure goal machine, as long as there is a pass, he can score. From here on From one point of view, Yokeresi has some similarities with him. "
"However, it remains to be seen whether Jocles can score goals as ruthlessly as Ruud van Nistelrooy. That's Ruud's greatest strength, but Jocles still has something to prove. But at least he's off to a good start, scoring a few goals. We'll have to wait and see how he does in six months, maybe he'll get into a scoring streak, who knows? "
Since joining in the summer transfer window, Jocles has scored 3 goals for Arsenal in 10 games.
