Best in his position — Gary Neville hails undroppable Arsenal star as league's elite

Gary Neville has singled out Arsenal's Jurrien Timber for high praise, naming him the best full-back in the Premier League.

Timber joined Arsenal from Ajax two years ago for approximately £38.5 million but saw his initial campaign curtailed by an ACL injury.

However, after overcoming the setback, the Dutch international played 48 games in all competitions last season and has become a standout performer for Mikel Arteta's side this season.

"I think Timber is almost, in my mind, I would class as being… do you know the guy that plays for Real Madrid? Carvajal.

"For me, he’s the best. And I think Timber’s the nearest to him at the moment, I see, in terms of being able to do that bit and do that bit, do the forward bit well enough, but definitely cuts everything off down his side.”

Speaking on The Overlap, Neville explicitly crowned the Arsenal star: “Timber is the best full-back in the league at the moment.

"What I was thinking last night, watching Arsenal, I was watching Lewis-Skelly, obviously, Timber played, you’ve got Ben White and Calafiori, I thought all Arsenal’s full-backs are better than Liverpool’s, all four of them, that’s a big problem for Liverpool.
