Arsenal are exchanging documents to finalise the Deadline Day signing of Piero Hincapié from Bayer Leverkusen, with the announcement expected today and Hincapié already in London. The 23-year-old Ecuador international has impressed in the Bundesliga and has emerged as a top target. Hincapié can play both centre-back and left-back, offering defensive versatility and depth for Mikel Arteta’s squad. A transfer fee has been agreed and the deal is described as all but done. Arsenal have already added Viktor Gyökeres, Eberechi Eze and Martín Zubimendi this summer. Further arrivals appear unlikely; focus may shift to player departures.
Arsenal are reportedly now exchanging the necessary documents to finalise the Deadline Day signing of Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie. The Ecuador international is set to be announced by the Gunners today, according to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano on X. Hincapie has shone during his time in the Bundesliga, and he's emerged as a top target for Arsenal in the last week or so.
Piero Hincapie to be announced by Arsenal on Deadline Day It might not be a dramatic last-minute deal by Arsenal, but it seems they will be welcoming in one new face on Deadline Day. The Hincapie deal has been on the cards for some time now, but AFC fans can look forward to seeing the 23-year-old in the famous red and white colours at some point later today.
This looks like a fine piece of business for Mikel Arteta's side, with Hincapie providing plenty of defensive depth as he can operate as both a centre-back or left-back to a high standard. Will Arsenal get any other late business done? Arsenal have had a busy summer bringing in the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Eberechi Eze and Martin Zubimendi. With Hincapie now on the verge of joining, the only other business likely at the Emirates Stadium today is player departures.
