Arsenal Step Up Interest In Ecuadorian Twins Quintero

Arsenal are intensifying their pursuit of teenage twins Edwin and Holger Quintero, according to reports. The 16-year-olds play for Ecuadorian club Independiente Del Valle, a renowned academy that has produced stars such as Moises Caicedo and Kendry Paez.

The Gunners have been scouting the Quintero brothers for a year and are now 'stepping up' their interest, as reported by the Daily Mail. Both Bayer Leverkusen and Sevilla are also monitoring the twins, meaning Arsenal may need to act quickly to secure their signatures.

Edwin Quintero is a right winger who can also play centrally, while Holger is more regularly deployed in an attacking midfield role. Independiente Del Valle has a strong track record of developing talent, with Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie and Paris Saint-Germain's Willian Pacho among its alumni.

Chelsea have already confirmed a deal for another Independiente Del Valle prospect, centre-back Deinner Ordonez, who will join in January 2028 when he turns 18. The Blues previously signed Caicedo from the same club for £4m before selling him for £100m in 2023.
