Arsenal’s global scouting machine is whirring again, this time with eyes on TWO rising stars who could be the next big thing in South American football.
The Gunners’ youth-first strategy is no secret. As the report puts it, “Arsenal are known for maintaining a global outlook when it comes to identifying emerging talent, and it remain committed to securing promising players at the earliest possible stage of their development.”
It’s the same blueprint that has helped them snap up young gems before rival clubs even realise they exist.
Backed by a trusted network of elite scouts, “the recruitment team at the Emirates consistently collaborates with highly regarded scouts who help the club uncover potential stars before their profiles rise and attract widespread attention.”
And now, their search has led them straight to South America, a region Arsenal already know well.
Gunners Tracking the Quintero Twins
According to reports surfacing from the continent, “Reports from South America, as cited by The Daily Mail, indicate that the Gunners are showing interest in Edwin and Holger Quintero.”
The teenage twins are currently developing at Independiente Del Valle, a club famous for turning raw talent into Premier League-ready stars.
The academy’s track record says it all. “The examples of Moises Caicedo and Piero Hincapie highlight the quality of the club’s developmental system.”
Hincapie is already at Arsenal, while Caicedo was once a genuine target before ending up at Chelsea. Their success is exactly why Arsenal are keeping a close eye on the next wave.
A Year of Quiet Tracking
The interest in the Quintero brothers isn’t new, either. The club have been quietly monitoring them for some time. As noted, “Arsenal have been monitoring the Quintero brothers for at least a year,” a clear sign of a long-term, data-driven plan rather than a last-minute gamble.
The club’s method is simple: watch closely, gather data, stay patient. “The long-term nature of this observation suggests a methodical approach rather than short-term speculation,” the report explains, classic Arsenal under Arteta and Edu.
For now, there’s no formal bid on the table. But the club’s stance is clear: “While no decision has yet been made regarding a formal move, the club’s ongoing assessment reflects a clear willingness to invest in players who could contribute to their future project.”
If the twins keep shining, a transfer could become more than just interest, it could become inevitability.
Arsenal may just be lining up their next South American success story… times two.
