Arsenal have completed deal, with one hurdle before final confirmation: report

"Mikel Arteta is finishing off even more moves late in the transfer window (Image credit: David Price/Arsenal FC via Getty Images) Arsenal have agreed another deal, with just the final confirmation to come with one obstacle left. The Gunners have enjoyed one of the most exciting transfer windows in their recent history, addressing key areas of manager Mikel Arteta's squad to bring in the likes of Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke and Martin Zubimendi. With Eberechi Eze becoming Arsenal's seventh buy of the summer, plenty assumed that the club were done making signings yet another move is on the cards."

"Though FourFourTwo understands that the North Londoners have no concerns when it comes to Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta will have to sell players in order to make any more signings. The North Londoners have spent over 250 million this summer though they usually operate with a one in, one out' policy, sales have been a lot harder to come by over the transfer window."

"After renowned journalist David Ornstein revealed in The Athletic that Berta was pursuing a deal for Piero Hincapie of Bayer Leverkusen, reports from Portugal have confirmed that the Ecuadorian is to replace Jakub Kiwior. O Jogo says that private flights have been arranged for the Pole for a couple of days now to leave for Porto, but that the Gunners are waiting to finalise the deal for Hincapie before pressing the button."

Arsenal have agreed another signing that awaits final confirmation, with one obstacle remaining related to the deal structure. The club has made multiple signings this summer, including Viktor Gyokeres, Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi and Eberechi Eze as the seventh arrival, and has spent over 250 million. Arsenal normally follow a one-in, one-out policy, so additional sales are required to facilitate further incoming players. Sporting director Andrea Berta is pursuing Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen to replace Jakub Kiwior, with personal terms described as straightforward while the transfer structure remains the sticking point.
