Jurrien Timber's former coach Jaap Stam has pointed to the defender's ability to play on the right or in the centre, prompting questions about how Mikel Arteta might plan to use the Dutchman.
Timber is on the verge of completing a move to the Emirates Stadium in a transfer worth around £40m including add-ons. The 22-year-old has already made more than 100 appearances for Ajax, as well as representing the Netherlands at Euro 2020 and the 2022 World Cup.
He was one of three centre-backs used by Oranje manager Louis van Gaal in Qatar, with Denzel Dumfries occupying the right wing-back role. And former Man Utd centre-back Stam, who coached Timber in Ajax's youth set-up has shed more light on his versatility.
