As predicted, now the squad are back from Germany deals are beginning to happen.
Just a few hours after pictures came out of Jorginho and Fabio Vieira at Wimbledon, News broke that Jurrien Timber was an Arsenal player.
The Ajax central defender is a fantastic signing. Read our Timber scouting report to learn more about him.
What we have done well this summer is solve problems that arose last year.
Firstly it was Havertz who gives us more creativity in attacking positions, mirroring what Martin Odegaard offers us on the right. He is also an option upfront.
Last season, our campaign stumbled after William Saliba picked up an injured. With Takehiro Tomiyasu also injured, we did not have the defensive cover to maintain our title challenge.
Timber is an option at both centre back and right back. Like Ben White. The pair now give us two quality options to cover Saliba. And with Tomiyasu, 3 great options at right back.
Sunday after the squad fly away once more, this time to America. I would not be surprised if another deal is announced today…

I strongly believe Timber will be our inverted option from right. White, Saliba, Gabriel, Kiwior Tomiyasu and even Tierney in the back 3 will allow Zinchenko to attacking invert from the left or Timber to defensively invert from the right. Zinchenko will put Rice on defensive duties and Timber will unleash Rice’s attacking abilities. Together with Partey and Jorginho, this gotta be the best defensive unit in the world. Maybe after Man City. I’m so excited.
