Quinten Timber — twin brother of Arsenal defender Jurrien — could be on his way to Tottenham this summer.

Midfielder Timber, 22, has been in excellent form for Feyenoord this season, helping himself to six goals and six assists in the Eredivisie.

And according to HITC, his exploits for Arne Slot's men are catching the attention of a number of Premier League sides.

Arsenal have been watching the Netherlands Under-21s international since last season after he caught the eye while watching brother Jurrien, who joined from Ajax for £38million last summer.

Despite the Gunners' interest, the report indicates it is North London rivals Spurs who are most keen to land the No8.

Both Quinten and Jurrien — whose first season at the Emirates has been overshadowed by an anterior cruciate ligament injury — joined Ajax at the age of 13 but have enjoyed slightly different paths since.

While Jurrien rose through the ranks to become a key player at the Johan Cruyff Arena, Quinten did not have the same impact, returning to hometown club Utrecht before his move to Feyenoord.

But the two brothers could now find themselves facing off against each other or even as team-mates in the Premier League if reports are to be believed.
