He said: “Yes, for sure. In the future, of course. It would be nice to be able to take such a step.

“But that, of course, starts today at Feyenoord. This season, I want to show beautiful things. And we will see what the future brings. But that would certainly be nice, yes.”

Monaco, Atletico Madrid, Borussia Dortmund and Napoli are also claimed to be interested in Quinten.

As recently as last season, the two brothers still shared a bedroom at their mum’s house.

Having been planning to move out, Quinten told the NY Times in March: We’ve lived together our whole lives. It will be weird.”

The Feyenoord star has scored once and grabbed three assists in seven league matches this season.

Last season he helped his side win the Eredivisie title.

Jurrien, meanwhile, is set for a long period on the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury against Nottingham Forest in Arsenal’s opening Premier League match of the season.
