Jurrien Timber believes that Arsenal needs to strive for perfection in order to surpass their performance from last season, and he also praises manager Mikel Arteta.

Timber, the Dutch defender for Arsenal, has emphasized the need for the team to be “perfect” if they want to surpass Manchester City and win the Premier League title. Despite finishing in second place last season, just two points behind City, Timber believes that Arsenal will have to elevate their performance to another level to dethrone the reigning champions.

Having missed most of last season due to an anterior cruciate ligament injury, Timber is eager to contribute to Arsenal’s pursuit of success. He expressed his hope that the team will end the season with some trophies, acknowledging the challenging task ahead.

The Gunners are currently in the United States for their pre-season tour, where they will face Bournemouth, Manchester United, and Liverpool. Timber’s move to Arsenal from Ajax last summer was marred by his injury, but he remains positive about his experience. Despite the setback, he recognizes the fortunate opportunity he had to work with excellent physios and supportive teammates. He made the best out of the situation and is now focused on the upcoming season.

Arsenal’s Premier League campaign will commence with a home match against Wolves at The Emirates next month. Timber praised Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for his unwavering support, both during their time in the United States and throughout his injury. Having such a manager has been instrumental in Timber’s recovery and development.

As Arsenal aims to improve on their previous season’s performance, Timber’s determination and positive mindset will be crucial. The Gunners will need to be flawless in their pursuit of the Premier League title, and with the support of their manager and the talent within the squad, they will strive to achieve greatness.
