Liverpool are playing some excellent football under Arne Slot – winning both Premier League games so far thanks to a slick style of play.
The Dutchman has watched his Liverpool side dismantle Ipswich Town and Brentford to kick off the 2024/25 campaign in fine fashion, scoring four goals without conceding any.
However, there are two Liverpool players who Arne Slot is said to be unconvinced by, with the 45-year-old now considering a move to reunite himself with one of his old Feyenoord stars…Liverpool want Quinten TimberA story from TEAMtalk now states that Liverpool could sign Quinten Timber before the transfer window ends on Friday 30th August.
It is said that Slot remains unconvinced by both Wataru Endo and Curtis Jones, so would ideally like to sign one new central midfielder before the window closes.
Timber – who made 44 appearances under Slot at Feyenoord last season – is now on Liverpool’s radar as a result, having impressed in the 2023/24 campaign with eight goals and ten assists from central midfield.
In total, the Feyenoord No.8 has made 74 appearances under Slot, scoring 11 goals and assisting another 13 – an excellent return which shows why the Liverpool boss would love a reunion with the Netherlands international at Anfield.
Timber – the brother of Arsenal No.12 Jurrien Timber – has already entered the final 24 months of his contract with Feyenoord, so he could be signed for a modest fee.
The man born in Utrecht cost Feyenoord €10m (£8m) back in July 2022, when the Eredivisie outfit signed the 23-year-old from his boyhood club Utrecht.Dutchman’s recovery pace should attract Arne SlotAs you can tell by the numbers, Timber would offer a solid source of goal involvements from midfield, something he is able to do thanks to his immense pace, which also enables him to be a huge help defensively.
The Dutchman has actually been clocked running faster than Kyle Walker of all players, which speaks volumes seeing as many consider the England international to be Europe’s quickest footballer.
In Slot’s system, which involves plenty of transitions with players regularly needing to get up and down the pitch quickly, Timber’s speed in that No.6 role would surely prove to be invaluable.Be sure to keep an eye on this situation, as Liverpool hunt for a new central midfielder.
