Arsenal: Jurrien Timber sends Harry Kane message ahead of Bayern Munich clash | OneFootball

Tottenham legend returns to north London in Champions League

The England captain has found the net 26 times in 19 appearances for club and country this season.

Kane boasts a brilliant record against Arsenal, too, and is the top scorer in the history of north London derbies.

“He has been doing it for such a long time already, and now at Bayern Munich he has been one of the best players in the world.

“I think when you face an opposition with Harry Kane as the striker, he is a topic and you discuss him as defenders, because he is one of the dangerous players.

“It is the same with any other game, we discuss their players and the way they play. For tomorrow, it is the same.”

Arsenal’s defence has earned plenty of plaudits this season and it has been key to their success.

The Gunners are top of the Premier League and they also have a 100 per cent record in the Champions League.

Timber, however, has stressed how it is a collective effort that has made Arsenal so hard to open up.

“If you look at Ebs’ [Eberechi Eze] performance the other day against Tottenham, he scored three goals but defensively he was amazing as well,” he said.

“So, I think it is the whole team that is trying to step up and do a bit more also.

“You have the example of Gabriel, everybody knows he is out and at the same time we know as defenders, as a team, we have to step up when a big player like him goes out of the team.

“I think it is just everyone taking their responsibility in defending and also attacking.”
