He\u2019s already earned the respect and admiration of all of us without playing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s an unbelievable thing to do after just one season. His leadership, his composure, his skill, the way he competes, we are desperate to have him on that pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mikel Arteta continued to laud Timber: \u201cI think he will bring so much to the team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe teammates love him, he makes them better, the way he coaches, he leads, he\u2019s the first one there, he loves the game, he wants to improve, he is an unbelievable player and he\u2019s going to have a huge impact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The only worry for Mikel Arteta could be that Timber dreams of playing for Barcelona as well as Real Madrid but based on how the Gunners are progressing in the Champions League, he has no reason to bid farewell to the Emirates Stadium anytime soon.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Follow Us<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BREAKING NEWS: Forget the fact that we won the league but truth must be told, This particular player defender is arguably the best defender in the world especially when it comes to 1v1 situation,Even Van Dijk is not close to Him in that aspect\u201d, Ryan Gravenberch named ONE Arsenal defender as the best defender currently \u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":57348,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-57347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
