The move underscores the club’s long-term vision, prioritising potential and development ahead of immediate first-team impact.

Edwin is primarily a right-winger, celebrated for his blistering pace, dribbling flair and close-control, qualities that have already earned him comparisons to a young Neymar. His twin, Holger, operates mainly as an attacking or central midfielder, known for technical ability and creative midfield play.
