Giving his verdict on Timber, Arteta said the 22-year-old has experience, adding that he is a versatile defender.
Arteta told Arsenal’s official website: “We are really excited that Jurrien has joined us. He is a versatile young defender, who will fit into our system and provide our squad with so much added quality.
