Jurrien Timber outlines where heâll fit in at Arsenal
New Arsenal player Jurrien Timber is ready to fill in a number of roles for Mikel Arteta.
Timber is thought to be seen as a right-back by the Gunners, while also capable of playing in central defence.
âI think that I’m lucky to say that I can play as a central defender, as a right full-back, sometimes even in midfield,â he said.
âSo I think that’s a good thing and I need to keep that.
âI just like the way Arsenal play, is a bit similar to Ajaxâs style and I like to play from the back. I can see a lot of similarities, especially in the way Arsenal and Ajax want to play.â

Paris Saint-Germain are ready to make a fresh swoop for Harry Kane.
Bayern Munich have so far come up short in satisfying Tottenhamâs demands for the striker, but the Independent say Kane has shown a willingness to move abroad during talks.
That has alerted PSG, who want to pair the England star with Kylian Mbappe.
A new striker is high on their list with moves for Victor Osimhen and Randal Kolo Muani yet to develop.
Saudi side tried to buy FIVE Chelsea players
Saudi Arabian officials blocked a supposed deal between Al-Hilal and Chelsea to sign FIVE players from the west Londoners.
A report in the New York Times claims that valuations for transfers have come back much higher than expected since four Saudi clubs were taken over by the governmentâs Public Investment Fund.
That led to the plug being pulled on certain transfers.
The identity of the Chelsea quintet has not been revealed but Kalidou Koulibaly did sign for ÂŁ25m earlier this summer.

Mikel Arteta uncertain over Folarin Balogun future
Folarin Balogunâs future is still not being guaranteed by Arsenal after his subpar outing in pre-season.
The striker missed two huge opportunities to seal a friendly win in Nurnberg as the Gunners were held to a draw by the second-tier German side.
And Mikel Arteta has refused to confirm that Balogun will get the first-team chance he so desires, amid talk of a ÂŁ50m exit.
Arteta said: âWell this is what he has been doing and thatâs why we gave him the minutes that he deserves to show what he can do.
âHeâs just staying here with us at the moment and we will see what happens.â
