Jurrien Timber grew up in Utrecht and joined Ajax's academy at 13, developing into one of the most versatile defenders of his generation, equally adept at right-back and centre-back. He won two Eredivisie titles at Ajax and the 2021-22 Player of the Year award before a £34m move to Arsenal in 2023, where an immediate ACL injury delayed his breakthrough; he has since become a key starter. He anchors the Dutch defence alongside captain Virgil van Dijk in 2026.
- Twin brother of Netherlands midfielder Quinten Timber
- Won the 2021-22 Eredivisie Player of the Year award
- The Timbers use their mother's surname rather than their father's (Maduro)
