Arsenal pursue deal for Leverkusen defender Hincapie

Piero Hincapie, a Bayer Leverkusen defender, is a subject for discussion at Arsenal.

This summer, the Gunners are making a left-sided defender their top priority, with Hincapie, an international from Ecuador, making an impressive choice.

According to sources, Arsenal’s hiring staff has closely watched the 23-year-old.

Before the transfer window closes, Hincapie wants to leave the German club and has a release clause of 60 million euros (£52 million).

Since joining Leverkusen in 2021, he has represented the team that won the German Cup and the Bundesliga between 2023 and 2024. He has made 166 appearances in all competitions.

Fabio Vieira, Reiss Nelson, and Oleksandr Zinchenko are among the players who are available for transfer, with Arsenal spending more than $ 200 million on them this summer.

Jakub Kiwior has attracted some interest from Porto, who are both interested in the center-back.
