Arsenal defender named among the PL’s top performers for October.
Defender had a great October with Arsenal
Jurrien Timber’s inclusion for the PL’s monthly award is a sign of his efforts in Arsenal‘s perfect run. Timber caught the spotlight through his tough defending. The right-back from Dutch was a part of Arsenal’s October league games. He played a total of three making it up to a total of three clean sheets for the team as well.
The player is seen by Mikel Arteta as one of the most trusted and dependable performers in the team. He has good game sense, football IQ, patience and composure during pressure situations. The defender also has the skill to handle faster wingers. He did, of course, make a part of his attacking skills visible when he got the penalty. The spot-kick decided the match against West Ham Utd, which Bukayo Saka duly converted into the goal.
Comeback story
Timber’s rise this season has been really remarkable. He picked up a serious injury early in his time at Arsenal. Now, he has returned as a better and more grown as a player, winning the respect of fans and non-fans alike.
The mix of his going-strength and technical ability has made Arsenal’s defense much stronger. That has given them a strong base for their attacks. The nomination by the PL for his rise shows the importance of his role in the North London side’s title race. Timber’s being at right-back has given Arteta with variability and stability.
Author’s opinion:
Timber’s nomination is not only a personal feat but also an evidence of his grit and growing power of Arsenal at this moment in the season. If he continues to play in this manner, there will undoubtedly be more honors coming his way in the future.
