Mikel Arteta has fresh £35m midfield option at Arsenal and it’s not Mikel Merino

It’s only October, but if you had to pick a player of the season for Arsenal, Jurrien Timber would be a pretty good bet.

The Dutch international has made up for lost time after missing a year with an ACL injury. Some standouts have come in the North London Derby victory over Tottenham and the 2-2 draw with Manchester City.

Arguably Timber’s best performance so far though came in the first half of Tuesday’s 2-0 win over PSG. The 23-year-old was sublime as Arsenal eased into control of a Champions League match against top quality opponents. Unfortunately though Timber’s night ended earlier than expected.
