Arsenal have completed the signing of Ecuadorian teenage sensations Edwin and Holger Quintero, securing a major coup for the club’s future.
The 16-year-old twins—highly regarded across South America—have joined from Independiente del Valle, one of the continent’s top talent-producing academies.
Although the pair have already travelled to London for formalities, they will officially join the Gunners in August 2027, once they turn 18.
In a statement, Arsenal announced:
“Arsenal Football Club have reached an agreement to sign twin brothers Edwin and Holger Quintero… The highly rated 16-year-olds will arrive at the club when they turn 18. They will follow in the footsteps of our very own Piero Hincapié, who was born in the same region of Ecuador and is also a product of Independiente del Valle’s famed academy.”
The club praised their exceptional talent and potential:
🔹 Edwin Quintero – Left-footed, quick, and a skilful dribbler. Operates as a right winger, fearless in taking on defenders, with a deep catalogue of ball skills.
🔹 Holger Quintero – A technically gifted attacking midfielder. Right-footed, creative, with sharp vision, quick feet, and an ability to link play effortlessly.
Both players have been capped at U17 level for Ecuador, further highlighting their rising status on the international stage.
Arsenal also confirmed close collaboration with Independiente del Valle to support the twins’ development and wellbeing until their 2027 arrival.
“Everyone at Arsenal is excited to welcome the Quintero twins to the club in the near future.”
