Arsenal Confirm Pre-Contracts for Ecuadorian Twins Edwin and Holger Quintero to Join in 2027

The club will collaborate with Independiente del Valle on their development until registration becomes possible under FIFA/UK rules in August 2027.

Overview

  • Arsenal announced agreements with the 16-year-old brothers that defer their arrival until they turn 18, with the transfers subject to regulatory completion.
  • The twins traveled to London this week to finalize details, with local reports saying they completed medicals before signing pre-contracts.
  • Arsenal described Edwin as a left-footed, quick right winger and Holger as a technically gifted, right-footed attacking midfielder, both capped at U17 level for Ecuador.
  • Reports suggest a combined fee in the region of £9 million and indicate five-year deals that would run to 2032 once registered.
  • ESPN reports Arsenal tracked the pair for well over a year and beat competition from top European clubs, aligning with a broader youth-first strategy that includes Victor Ozhianvuna and a clear first-team pathway.
