Feyenoord midfielder and the Netherlands international, Quinten Timber, is on the verge of joining Olympique Marseille as a valuable asset in the Ligue 1 title race

If you watched any Feyenoord game, you might have thought you were losing your mind, seeing Jurrien Timber in the Dutch side's ranks, although the defender is an Arsenal player. The thing is, you were neither wrong nor crazy - the Gunners' left-back has a twin brother, Quinten.

The two have spent their youth days together at Feyenoord and Ajax, but Jurrien got a chance in the Amsterdam side's first team, which helped him reach a top-notch club like Arsenal, while Quinten had to "take a detour", as spells at Ajax's reserve team, Jong Ajax, and Utrecht, brought him back to Feyenoord, where he made a name for himself.

However, according to the Dutch Voetbal International, after 125 games with his boyhood club, it's time for Quinten to say goodbye, as he is on the verge of joining Olympique Marseille.

The same source claims the 24-year-old has already reached an agreement with the French side, while talks between the two clubs are ongoing.

Timber has recently refused a transfer to Lazio, but after the latest dispute between him and Feyenoord boss Robin van Persie, his days in Rotterdam seem to be numbered.

The midfielder is thus set to join his former Feyenoord teammate Igor Paixao - who joined L'OM last August for €30 million - at Stade Velodrome and be a valuable asset to Roberto De Zerbi in Marseille's title race with Lens and Paris Saint-Germain.
