Max's drive to thrive fuels Timber return

-  NICK CALLOW

ARSENAL star Jurrien Timber is taking inspiration from Max Verstappen as he bids to turbo charge his career.

The Dutchman was billed as the gamechanger for the Gunners in their quest for a first Premier League title in two decades when he signed from Ajax last summer.

But the North London side were robbed of his services when he suffered an ACL injury in the opening game of the season.

A substitute appearance on the final day of their second successive runner-up campaign was another hint of what is yet to come from the 23-year-old.

But judging by the elite sportsmen Timber sets his standards by, only a major trophy will suffice.
