Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have both flown scouts out to Mexico in pursuit of a highly rated 19-year-old with firm interest in the forward.

The North London rivals have both been actively investing in the future over the past 12 months. In February, Spurs signed Hearts teenager James Wilson on a loan-to-buy deal.

Meanwhile, Arsenal confirmed a deal to bring 16-year-old Ecuadorian twins Edwin and Holger Quintero to the Emirates Stadium in 2027, after securing youngsters Tommy Setford and Victor Ozhianvuna.

CD Guadalajara striker Hugo Camberos could be the next target for the duo, as he continues to impress for both club and country.

Mexican outlet TUDN claims that Camberos has been watched by scouts from both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur while playing for the Mexico Under-20 side.

The forward has three goals and one assist in 35 appearances for the club, having netted seven goals in 33 outings during a brief spell with CD Tapatío in 2024.

Guadalajara had let their youth product move to the rival, but made a move to bring him back to the club less than a year later as a result of his promising performances.

At the age of 18, the forward was named Rookie of the Year in the Liga MX and has turned heads with his dribbling and creativity in the final third.

Camberos is currently with the Mexico Under-20 set-up at the CONCACAF Under-20 tournament, hosted in Mexico. The nation lead the group table with nine points from three matches.

The teenager has three goals and an assist in those outings, netting in every match so far. That impressive return has happened under the watchful eye of representatives from Arsenal and Spurs.

The young Mexican was the standout player as his side beat Guatemala 4-0 this week. He could easily have had a hat-trick, missing a close-range volley before narrowly firing wide after creating another good opportunity.

Camberos remains under contract with Guadalajara until 2028 and the player's father has been adamant that the forward will not leave the club until he lifts the league title. Only then will he prioritise a move to Europe.
