Andrea Berta has been a hero since he joined Arsenal.

The Gunners needed a big upgrade on Edu Gaspar at the Emirates. The Brazilian did a decent job during his time at the club, but he made a lot of mistakes too.

Arsenal were linked with several sporting directors, but Berta became the chosen one, and he has done a tremendous job so far.

Now, the Italian could be about to pull off two more incredible signings in Edwin and Holger Quintero.

From Saka to Dowman to now the Quintero twins, how do you predict Arsenal’s team will look in 2027… Let us know in the comments!

Arsenal are about to sign Edwin and Holger Quintero thanks to Andrea Berta’s ‘masterstroke’

Arsenal have some of the best young players in the world in their ranks.

Max Dowman, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Ethan Nwaneri are elite talents who are all destined to be superstars one day.

Now, the Gunners are about to strike a deal to sign the Quintero twins, Edwin and Holger, from Ecuadorian side Independiente del Valle.

ESPN have revealed that the two players have been in England recently and have agreed to join Arsenal when they turn 18 in August 2028.

Edwin is a left-winger by trade and has been compared to Neymar, while his twin brother, Holger, is a more central player who usually operates in an attacking midfield role.

The report claims that Arsenal’s recruitment team view the signing of these two players as a ‘masterstroke’ by Berta, as both of them have the potential to become big stars in the future.

If this double deal gets over the line as planned, Berta could be viewed as an even bigger genius than he already is.

Arsenal’s potential starting XI in 10 years looks exciting

10 years is almost a generation in football, so a lot of things can happen. But Arsenal’s future really looks bright because of the young players they have.

Along with Dowman, Lewis-Skelly and Nwaneri, the likes of Andre Harriman-Annous, Marli Salmon, Tommy Setford, Callan Hamill and Brando Bailey-Joseph are exciting names who are coming through the ranks.

Add the Quintero twins into the mix, and you may have Arsenal’s starting lineup in front of you.

Could this be Arsenal’s starting XI in 10 years?

For those wondering why Cristhian Mosquera, who is a current first-team player, is in that squad above, he is still only 21, which means he will be 31 in 2035.

There is a decent chance that the talented Spaniard could captain the Gunners in 10 years if he stays at the club and fulfils his potential.

We are really excited to see how all 11 players above will fare in the coming years.
