"Arsenal" has reached an agreement with 16-year-old twins Edwin and Holger Kintero, who play for the Ecuadorian team "Independiente del Valle". The contract will come into effect in August 2027, when they turn 18.
Idman.Biz reports that, according to ESPN, the brothers have arrived in London to complete the initial forms of the official contract with the club.
According to the source, "Arsenal" views these young players as a long-term investment as part of their long-term transfer strategy. The transfer of the Kintero twins is not tied to the January transfer window; the club is preparing them for 2027.
According to ESPN, "Arsenal" has been following these two players for a year. Edwin, as a right winger - fast and creative - is reminiscent of a young version of Neymar. Holger is valued as an attacking midfielder. These two positions are areas that "Arsenal" wants to strengthen in their attacking line.
The "Independiente del Valle" academy is known for the quality of its graduates. Among the footballers who came from there are Moises Caicedo and Piero Hincapie. In this context, the agreement with the Kintero twins is a continuation of "Arsenal"'s policy of investing in youth.
An official announcement has not yet been made, and the details of the contract, including the transfer fee, remain confidential.
