EPL: He’s a big addition to the squad – Arteta hails Arsenal star after Man Utd win

Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has said Jurrien Timber is “like a new signing”.

The 23-year-old missed almost all of his first season with the Gunners after suffering an ACL injury on the opening day of 2023-24.

Timber made his return at the end of last campaign and has been involved in the two pre-season friendlies.

“He’s like a new signing for us, a big addition to the team,” Arteta said after Arsenal beat Man United 2-1 on Saturday night.

“Now he’s getting the rhythm because obviously he’s missed a lot of football in the last year or so.
