Arsenal boss Arteta: Timber? He's been brilliant

Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta says Jurrien Timber has settled in.

While he recovers from an ACL injury, the summer arrival has mixed well with his teammates.

Arteta said today: "Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. You talk to anybody in that building, everybody that gets close to him they'll tell you he's a really special character.

"We were really impressed when we signed him because when you see the player training in our environment you go 'wow what an incredible player'.

"But that player had a really big setback and a difficult moment to go through. He's been really special with how he's gone through that situation. Really special."
