Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber is channeling the determination of Formula 1 champion Max Verstappen as he aims to reignite his career with the Gunners this season.
The Dutch defender, heralded as a potential game-changer for Arsenal’s Premier League ambitions, faced a setback last summer after transferring from Ajax. Timber’s season was abruptly halted by an ACL injury during his debut game.
Despite a brief substitute appearance on the final day of the season, Timber’s full potential remains untapped.
At 23, he looks to elite athletes like Verstappen and the late Kobe Bryant for motivation. Timber admires Verstappen’s relentless drive for a fourth consecutive F1 World Championship and Bryant’s legendary work ethic.
