Mikel Arteta drops hint over new deal for ‘phenomenal’ Arsenal star
Arsenal is considering discussions on Jurrien Timber contracts
Mikel Arteta suggested that Arsenal could soon seek to improve the Jurrien Timber contract, stressing the importance of the Dutch defender for his plans. Timber quickly established himself as a figure of confidence in the back line of Arsenal after overcoming a major setback in his first season in northern London.
The resurgence of wood after an injury
When Timber signed for Arsenal, the excitement was raised on what he could bring to the Premier League. However, his first campaign was actually lost after an LCA injury on the opening day excluded him for the majority of the season. Many players find it difficult to return from such a serious setback, but the determination and professionalism of Timber saw him return with authority.

The reports indicate that Arsenal has already opened negotiations with the versatile defender, who started all their premier League matches except one this season. His consistency and resilience did not go unnoticed by Arteta.
Arteta’s confidence in wood
Speaking of the impact and future of Timber, Arteta clearly indicated how appreciated it is to the Emirates.
“The players want to be with us, we want to attach our future with them,” said Arteta.
“Jurrien is a very good example of someone in very difficult circumstances, with an injury at the start of his career, difficult, the way he returns and what he does for the team, is phenomenal.
“I hope it is another that will have a long future with us.”
The words of Arteta highlight both the confidence placed in the wood and the long -term vision of the manager for his team. For Arsenal, maintaining the players of this caliber linked to the club is essential for the maintenance of progress in national and European competitions.
Importance for the future of Arsenal
Securing Timber’s commitment would reflect the Stability and Development Arsenal Strategy under Arteta. The club has shown in recent years that it wanted to protect their key assets by rewarding them with the improvement of agreements. Timber’s ability to settle in different defensive roles offers the arsenal tactical flexibility, and its mentality after a long absence of injuries added an additional layer of reliability.
Arsenal’s current trajectory under Arteta has been more than results. It is a question of creating a group of players who share a vision and a desire to grow with the project. Wood embodies this philosophy, and contractual discussions would point out Arsenal’s intention to keep it within the framework of their evolving structure.
For wood, the new terms would not only concern financial recognition but also the reaffirmation of its place at the heart of the Arteta team. For Arsenal, it would be another step in building the foundations on one side that can compete in a coherent way at the highest level.
