Arsenal's team is easily one of the most talented squads in the world right now. They have great players in every position, and they also have great depth in every position.

It is not like before when they used to have one good player for some positions, and had to make do with average players to fill out the remainder of the squad.

Arsenal's squad now is one of the deepest in the Premier League, and it is no surprise that they are currently at the top of the league table as well as in the Champions League.

Arsenal have signed some players in the last few years who have become staples of this new team, and one of those players, according to reports in England, could be signing a new contract extension if talks between the player and the club keep going well.

According to Simon Collings, Arsenal's Andrea Berta is in talks with right-back Jurrien Timber, and the feeling at the club is that they are confident Timber will sign a new contract at some point.

Timber's current deal with Arsenal expires in June 2028, so there would probably be no rush from the player's side or the team's side to get this completed as soon as possible.

However, it is still better for both parties to get it done as soon as possible to reduce the risk of potential clubs coming in and offering money for a player Arsenal clearly do not want to sell.

Timber has been an exceptional signing for Arsenal, and ever since he returned from his ACL injury after joining the club, it seems like the Dutch full-back just has not looked back.

Timber has formed a brilliant partnership with Bukayo Saka on the right flank, constantly combining well with each other, as well as defending diligently with the Englishman in the other half of the pitch.

Timber also has strong bonds with his central defenders, and his ability to play as one has also helped his improvement at right-back.

To think Timber is the best right-back in the Premier League right now will not be that much further from the truth as people used to think. In fact, Timber is at least a top-two right-back in the country right now, and there aren't many people who would disagree with it.

So, it is not at all surprising that Arsenal are already trying to give him a new contract. Timber does deserve to be on higher pay as well, given how well he is performing. All of this makes complete sense.
