Kieran Tierney's situation at Arsenal could be about to completely change following Jurrien Timber's £34.3million move from Ajax.

Mikel Arteta highlighted his defence as an area desperate for improvement after seeing his side fall short in the Premier League title race last season on the back of William Saliba's injury. Timber's arrival, in a way, fills two spots in the Gunner squad, with the Netherlands international capable of playing at centre-back and right-back.

In Timber's first game in his new colours, Arteta's ideology was evident from the off. Taking up a position at right-back, Timber took up an inverted role, similar to what we saw from Manchester City and John Stones last season.

The Gunners have already utilised the versatility of their squad with Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Ukraine international was used more as a central midfielder last term, drifting infield when in possession to allow Granit Xhaka more license to roam in more advanced area.s
