Liverpool has won all bar one of its games this season across all competitions, capping off a strong start to the campaign.
This follows the Reds’ inconsistent transfer window in which they only signed one new player by the deadline.
Federico Chiesa was signed by Liverpool, while Giorgi Mamardashvili was also signed, but he won’t be at Anfield until the following year.
In addition, despite Liverpool’s interest, Martin Zubimendi chose to remain at Real Sociedad, meaning the Reds were unable to acquire a fresh midfield addition.
According to TEAMtalk, Arne Slot is now looking for a Zubimendi replacement, and the Reds are optimistic about landing him in the upcoming season.
On September 22, 2024, at Stadion Feijenoord, Quinten Timber of Feyenoord watches the Feyenoord vs. NAC Breda Dutch Eredivisie match.
Quinten Timber is admired by Arne Slot, the manager of Liverpool.
Quinten Timber, who played under Slot at Feyenoord and is still a standout player for the Eredivisie team, is the player in question.
According to TEAMtalk, the manager of Liverpool is a big fan of Timber, who Slot finds appealing due to his versatility in midfield.
The Feyenoord star was actually a summertime favourite of the Reds management, but early talks broke down because the Dutch team refused to budge.
According to the source, Liverpool now thinks Feyenoord’s position would soften because Timber’s contract expires in the summer of 2026.

Quinten Timber, a target for Liverpool, is who?
The midfielder Quinten Timber plays for Feyenoord and is a member of the Netherlands national team.
The 23-year-old began his career at the Feyenoord academy before transferring to Ajax and moving up the ranks at the Amsterdam team.
After that, in 2021, Timber—the twin brother of Arsenal defender Jurrien—joined FC Utrecht, but a year later, Feyenoord re-signed him.
For the Rotterdam team, he has made 81 competitive appearances, tallying 13 goals and 13 assists.
As a progressive football player with the ball, Quinten is exceptional in many of his judgements and gives his team effectiveness and danger-creation in addition to his strongest attribute—how simple it is for him to avoid the press—as stated in a July 2024 article by Breaking the Lines.
“Like his brother, he will be able to improve his game and find himself in a better team and league with improvement very soon.”
Timber is a pretty quick player as well. In fact, at times even faster than England and Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker.
Walker’s fastest sprint time was 32.8 km/h, but Timber beat that mark the previous year with a slightly faster time of 33 km/h.
