Arsenal new signing Jurrien Timber had a feeling that he had to join the club this summer.

The Dutch centre half had been linked to Premier League clubs in the past, such as Manchester United and Liverpool.

While those moves did not materialise, Timber admits he could not have turned down the Gunners.

He told reporters: To be honest, I had some options but Arsenal was the only one I chose. It is a beautiful club. Look at last year. Of course, the previous years were beautiful but last year you saw a major step. The team grows and I want to be a part of it.

Sometimes it is just a feeling. The way they play, the way I talk with the trainer. I just had a good feeling with it.

We have a strong team. Expectations are high because they had a great season last season and they bought some players. Let's see what we can do."
