Merson urges Arteta to play Timber in UCL final

Paul Merson, a former Arsenal player, has urged current manager Mikel Arteta to consider playing Jurrien Timber in the UEFA Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain, scheduled for Saturday in Budapest. Merson believes that even if Timber is only half-fit, he should be included in the squad.

Timber, a 24-year-old Dutch defender, has missed the last two months of the season due to a groin injury. Merson expressed confidence in Timber's ability to contribute to the match, stating that he would be a valuable asset even in a compromised physical state.

The final will see Arsenal face off against Luis Enrique's PSG, marking a significant event in the Champions League calendar.
