The report indicates that Quinten made a favorable impression at Marseille and has become an essential player for the team, which is eager to retain him.
However, the club’s financial issues have made a transfer more plausible, with a switch to Palace now being described as ‘very close’.

Quinten Timber, the twin brother of Arsenal’s Jurrien Timber, has previously been linked to the Gunners himself on a few occasions.
Unlike his twin, Quinten plays as a central midfielder, balancing defensive and attacking responsibilities during the last season. The 25-year-old netted four goals and provided four assists during the 2025/26 season, all while playing for Feyenoord.

Quinten also represents the Netherlands in international competitions and participated in the World Cup over the summer. However, his experience in the tournament was less than favorable, as he only played 54 minutes before missing a penalty during the Netherlands’ exit to Morocco in a shootout.

In contrast, Jurrien Timber, who missed the World Cup due to injury, is looking forward to returning to the pitch. Arsenal would welcome his twin brother’s presence in the same city, even if they end up playing for different clubs.

According to the claims, Quinten has impressed at Marseille and established himself as a key player, with the club keen to keep him.
But Marseille’s financial struggles have made a sale increasingly likely, and a move to Palace is now described as ‘very close’.

Quinten is the twin brother of Arsenal’s Jurrien Timber, and he’s been linked with a move to the Gunners himself on one or two occasions in the past.
Unlike Jurrien, Quinten plays in central midfield, splitting his time between defensive and attacking roles last season. The 25-year-old scored four goals and provided four assists in 2025/26, though all of them were for Feyenoord.

Like his brother, Quinten is a Dutch international, and he took part in the World Cup over the summer. But he won’t have particularly fond memories of the event, having only played 54 minutes when he missed a penalty in the Netherlands’ shootout exit to Morocco.

Jurrien obviously missed the World Cup through injury, and Arsenal will want him back in action as soon as possible. It would be nice for the right-back to have his twin brother back living in the same city as him, even if he’s playing for a different club.
