West Ham United will reportedly look to sign 24-year-old Dutch midfielder Quinten Timber from Eredivisie club Feyenoord next year.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Quinten Timber is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers are keen on reinforcing their first-team squad by signing a versatile midfielder next year. So, the 24-year-old Feyenoord mainstay has emerged as a target for the East London club.

The Dutchman’s contract situation makes him an appealing target for prospective suitors, and the Eredivisie giants are ready to part ways with him for €20 million in the winter transfer window. So, a winter move to West Ham United may be on the cards for Timber.

Quinten Timber and his situation

Quinten Timber has established himself as one of the best midfielders in the Eredivisie since joining Feyenoord from FC Utrecht in July 2022. A native of Utrecht, the 24-year-old spent his formative years in the Netherlands, passing through the academies at DVSU and Feyenoord before graduating from the youth division at Ajax.

However, the Dutch midfielder has risen in prominence after returning to Feyenoord. Timber has made over 100 appearances for the Eredivisie club while chipping in with 19 goals and 14 assists. However, the player faces an uncertain future at Feyenoord after entering the final year of his deal. The situation has piqued the attention of several Premier League outfits, including West Ham United.

London calling?

West Ham United’s interest in Quinten Timber is understandable. The Hammers are scouring the market for a versatile midfielder heading into the winter transfer window, as deficiencies in the middle of the park have been glaring this season. Additionally, James Ward-Prowse has no future at the London Stadium under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Other midfielders, including Guido Rodriguez, also face an uncertain future at West Ham. Several candidates, including Ismael Saibari, have thus emerged on the East London club’s wishlist, with Timber also a viable target. The 24-year-old Dutchman will be available for a cut-price fee of €20 million in the winter transfer window.

While West Ham can sign Timber for free next summer, he will be available for a reasonable fee of €20 million in January. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the versatile Dutch midfielder.
