Liverpool will look to sign 23-year-old Dutch midfielder Quinten Timber from Feyenoord as an alternative to Real Sociedad midfielder Martin Zubimendi.
According to a report by TEAMtalk, Quinten Timber is the subject of interest from Liverpool. The Reds are scouring the market for alternatives for Martin Zubimendi after failing to sign the Spanish international in the summer transfer window. So, the 23-year-old Feyenoord midfielder has emerged as a target for the Merseyside outfit.
The Quinten Timber tale
Quinten Timber has established himself as one of the best players in the Eredivisie since joining Feyenoord from FC Utrecht in July 2022. A native of Utrecht, the Dutchman spent his formative years with three clubs in his homeland before graduating from the youth division at Ajax. However, he has risen in prominence during his spell with Feyenoord.
The 23-year-old hit the ground running after joining Feyenoord from FC Utrecht as they won the Eredivisie title in the 2022/23 season. The latest feather in Timber’s hat is taking over the role of club captain ahead of the 2024/25 campaign after Lutsharel Geertruida’s departure in the summer transfer window.
The Dutch midfielder has turned out nearly 100 times thus far for Feyenoord while chipping in with 13 goals and 13 assists. Meanwhile, Quinten Timber’s progress at the Eredivisie club has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Liverpool.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Quinten Timber has been on Liverpool’s radar for a long time, with the Merseyside outfit also mulling over a move in the summer transfer window. However, Martin Zubimendi was the priority target for Liverpool this past summer, with the Reds coming close to securing his services before a move failed to see the light of day.
While Zubimendi regrets snubbing Liverpool and reportedly wants to move to Anfield in the January transfer window, the Reds are keeping their options open. Timber has thus emerged as an alternative to the Spanish international, with Liverpool considering a move for the Dutchman for next year.
The 23-year-old will be the second Timber brother to play in the Premier League after twin brother Jurrien, who plies his trade for Arsenal. It will be interesting to see if the Dutch midfielder reunites with his twin on opposite sides again after going head-to-head in the Eredivisie.
