Arsenal Step Up Interest in Ecuadorian Twin Prospects Edwin and Holger Quintero

FIFA age rules mean any move would be delayed until they turn 18.

Overview

  • Multiple reports say Arsenal have intensified monitoring of the 16-year-old Independiente del Valle duo after tracking them for around a year.
  • Edwin is a left-footed right winger noted for pace and skill, while Holger operates as a creative central midfielder, with both capped at Ecuador youth level.
  • Bayer Leverkusen and Sevilla are among European clubs also scouting the brothers, indicating competition for any future deal.
  • Independiente del Valle’s academy has a strong record of exports to Europe, and a teammate of the twins has an agreed future transfer to Chelsea after turning 18.
  • Coverage frames Arsenal’s interest as part of a longer-term South American recruitment approach rather than a completed transfer.
