Liverpool scout Feyenoord midfield star Quinten Timber

Liverpool fans might have something to look forward to in the transfer market as the club’s interest in Quinten Timber gains momentum. Recent rumours suggest that a move for the talented defender could materialise in the near future.

According to 90min via Liverpool ECHO, several Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Tottenham Hotspur, have been actively scouting players in the Eredivisie. Timber‘s performances in the Dutch league have not gone unnoticed, and he could surely add to the defensive strength of the Reds.

However, the competition for Timber’s signature extends beyond England’s top-flight clubs. Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Monaco, and Napoli have also expressed interest in the young defender.

Timber’s rise to prominence remains underscored by his crucial role in Feyenoord’s Eredivisie triumph in the 2022/23 season. His contributions were instrumental in helping the club secure only their second league title since the start of the century.

Another Timber to the Premier League?

One intriguing factor that raises the possibility of a Premier League move for Timber is the influence of his brother, Jurrien Timber. Jurrien recently switched to Arsenal, providing Quinten with an insider’s perspective on English football. We hope the influence doesn’t pull him towards the Emirates.

Timber’s versatility and defensive prowess make him an enticing prospect for Jurgen Klopp’s side. This is coupled with the fact that the Reds’ backline has a few players who are surely not getting any younger and need reinforcements in the long run.

The need for defensive reinforcements is also on the horizon for Liverpool, especially if Joel Matip departs when his contract expires in 2024. Timber’s arrival could provide valuable depth and competition in the backline, ensuring that the Reds remain competitive across all competitions.

While the competition for Timber’s signature is fierce, Liverpool’s reputation as one of Europe’s top clubs and their history of successful player development could tip the scales in their favour.
