Quinten Timber is a Netherlands midfielder, born on 17 June 2001 (age 25), now with Crystal Palace, where he wears squad number 23. He is primarily used as a central defensive midfielder, though his best work has not been limited to sitting and shuffling the ball sideways.
His most productive league season came at Feyenoord in 2023–24, when he scored seven goals in 31 appearances. That gave a fairer picture of his range: a midfielder with enough discipline for the middle of the pitch, but with the timing and confidence to affect games higher up.
The 2026–27 season has taken him from Marseille, where he made one league appearance, to Crystal Palace, where he has made three league appearances. His market value is around £25.5m, according to Transfermarkt, which tells its own story about how he is regarded, even allowing for the usual market theatre.
He has also been involved with the Netherlands this season, making two World Cup appearances, three appearances in European World Cup qualifying with one goal, and four Nations League appearances.
Timber’s career so far has moved through Feyenoord, Marseille and Crystal Palace, with international involvement alongside it. He remains an established professional still in the main part of his development.
