Alex Howell has covered reports for the BBC that the fee for the double signing could reach £9m, with the pair expected to sign five-year contracts in north London.

But those contracts won’t start until August 2027, when the duo turn 18, as they’re currently ineligible to officially move to Arsenal. So their deals should ultimately last until 2032.

James Olley broke the news for ESPN this week that Arsenal had agreed a deal in principle to sign the Ecuadorian twins from Independiente Del Valle, adding that the Gunners had fought off competition from a number of top European clubs to secure the transfers.

Olley added that the deal is viewed as something of a coup for Arsenal’s recruitment team, having tracked the duo for well over a year.

The pathway to first-team football evidenced by Myles Lewis-Skelly, Ethan Nwaneri, and Max Dowman’s progression was a key factor in pulling it off.

All the way back in April, Sami Mokbel had reported for the BBC that Arsenal were among a group of European clubs tracking the Quintero twins’ development.

Edwin Quintero is a right-winger, capped at u17 level for Ecuador, whilst Holger Quintero is a midfielder who also has Ecuador u17 experience. The pair made their u17 debuts in the same game against Costa Rica last August.

Once their Arsenal moves are done and dusted, the brothers will look to push on into the Independiente del Valle senior side over the next year and a half.
