Arsenal’s appearance will take a major step in pursuing Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that Ecuadorian International will send green light to north London.
According to Romano, personal terms have been reached, and once the club finalizes the transfer structure, a long-term agreement is prepared and ready to be signed.
Hincapie, who was said to be impressed in the Bundesliga, is in favor of turning to Arsenal.
The 23-year-old sees Mikel Arteta’s program as the next step in his career, and Arteta himself is considered a defensive admirer who believes he is the ideal signing that adds depth and competition throughout the defender.

Arsenal’s plan is to propose a opening proposal that may be in the form of an initial loan transaction in the form of an obligation to purchase. Such a structure will give the Gunners some flexibility in this window while providing long-term solutions to the defensive forces.
This also fits Arsenal’s strategy of expanding costs across multiple windows while still competing for top players.
Hincapie’s moves may also trigger movement elsewhere. Romano noted that Jakub Kiwior is expected to join FC Porto and his speech is going well.
The Polish defender has been working to consolidate a regular starting point since arriving in the UAE, and Arsenal’s pursuit of Sinkapi says Arteta is seeking a slightly different profile to enhance his defensive core.

If completed, Hincapie’s signing will represent another statement of intention from Arsenal as they aim to challenge the Premier League title again and play more in-depth matches in the Champions League.
Since personal terms are no longer a barrier, and Hincapie’s preferences are clear, everyone is now watching Arsenal’s official bid.
In the past, his agent was described as a “warrior.”
