Quinten Timber

Crystal Palace have completed the signing of Netherlands international midfielder Quinten Timber on a deal until 2031.

The 25-year-old arrives at Selhurst Park from Marseille, bringing considerable domestic and European experience to the Eagles as well as 13 senior caps for his country.

Timber, twin brother of Arsenal defender Jurriën Timber, came through the youth systems at Feyenoord and Ajax before beginning his senior career with Jong Ajax. He joined Utrecht in 2021 and was named the club's Player of the Year during his only season before returning to Feyenoord the following summer.

The midfielder enjoyed a successful spell in Rotterdam, helping Feyenoord win the Eredivisie title in his first season before adding the KNVB Cup and Johan Cruyff Shield in 2024. He was later appointed club captain before moving to French side Marseille in January.

Timber made his senior Netherlands debut against Germany in 2024 and has since won 13 caps, scoring once. He also represented his country twice at this summer's World Cup in North America.

Palace chairman Steve Parish said: "With vast experience of representing his club and country at the highest level, Quinten is a player whose leadership, tenacity and ability we are confident will flourish in the Premier League.

"Welcome to Palace, Quinten."
