Arsenal fans were buzzing with excitement after spotting one of the club’s long-term transfer targets at the Emirates Stadium.
As the January transfer window approaches, the Gunners find themselves in a challenging situation, grappling with multiple defensive injuries and needing reinforcements on the right wing to cover for Bukayo Saka.
Saka is expected to be sidelined for at least two months following surgery on a significant hamstring injury. In his absence, Leandro Trossard filled in during Arsenal’s 1-0 victory over Ipswich on December 27, with captain Martin Ødegaard stepping into Saka’s right-wing role.
Whether manager Mikel Arteta sticks with this arrangement or opts to sign a replacement for Saka—potentially creating future competition—remains uncertain.
Meanwhile, Arsenal fans were thrilled after spotting Feyenoord midfielder Quinten Timber, twin brother of Arsenal’s Jurrien Timber, at the Emirates for the Ipswich game. Quinten posted a photo on Instagram with the caption, “Flight’s booked,” sparking speculation. The 23-year-old was linked to Arsenal back in April, though no deal materialized.
Fans reacted enthusiastically to the post. One commented on Reddit, “You have no idea how much I want this guy to play for us one day just to have twins in the squad.” Another added, “I would love him, but it would need to be a serious role for him to consider.” Others expressed hope and humor, with one joking, “If he can play LB, Mikel will take him,” and another noting, “As a captain and star player at Feyenoord, he’d expect more than a bench role.”
