Troy Deeney Hails Unbelievable Jurrien Timber as Arsenal Star Storms Europe’s Team of the Season

Ricardo Calafiori might be grabbing headlines, but it’s Jurrien Timber who’s stealing the show. After battling through last season’s injury nightmare, the Dutch defender is back with a bang, producing a string of performances that have made him one of Arsenal’s standout stars.

Timber has transformed Arsenal’s right-hand side into a fortress. Rock-solid at the back, electric going forward, he’s proving to be everything Mikel Arteta hoped for and more.

And now, he’s got the recognition to prove it. WhoScored has named Timber the most in-form defender in the Premier League, and the only English-based player in Europe’s Team of the Season so far.

Former Watford captain Troy Deeney couldn’t hide his admiration, raving about Timber’s resurgence on the Football Exchange podcast.

“Do you know what I will have to say as well? Jurrien Timber, he’s been unbelievable this year,” Deeney said. “Yeah, he’s obviously come back from his injury, but this is the player I think they thought they were signing. He’s been remarkable. So, that right-hand side’s been very good.”

From battling injuries to bossing the Premier League, Timber’s rise has been nothing short of sensational. Mikel Arteta reportedly wants him tied down long-term, with Fabrizio Romano revealing the Arsenal boss sees him as a “complete defender.”

Not long ago, fans wondered if he could ever oust Ben White. Now, he’s not just replaced him, he’s raised the bar.

Timber isn’t just Arsenal’s comeback king; he might just be the best full-back in England right now.
