Josimar Quintero
Youth career
Josimar joined Chelsea from Barcelona in June 2013 but was unable to officially begin his Chelsea career due to paperwork and visa issues, and had still not played a competitive match by the end of the 2014-15 season. That changed when he turned 18 and paperwork was no longer and issue and so he became a part of Adi Viveash's Under-21 and Under-19 teams. His contributions to the latter included a goal away to Porto en route to winning the 2015-16 UEFA Youth League as he turned his game from being a winger to becoming a tenacious central midfielder.
International
Josimar has represented Ecuador at Under-20 level
