Arsenal player’s brother close to Crystal Palace move Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber’s twin brother Quinten is closing in on a move to Crystal Palace, according to a report from France.

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’.

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.

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. Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images
