Arsenal are in advanced talks for Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie, but a successful move hinges on the Gunners selling players before the transfer deadline. With Monday's 19:00 BST cut-off looming, Arsenal want to add left-sided defender Hincapie to their squad. Multiple sources have indicated an agreement is close for the Ecuador international, who has a 52m release clause, while the 23-year-old wants the move.
However, Arsenal are mindful of complying with Uefa's squad cost ratio regulations and want to ensure players are sold before completing a deal for Hincapie. The Gunners are in talks with Porto over an exit for Jakub Kiwior, with Hincapie seen as a direct replacement for the Poland defender in Mikel Arteta's squad. There is also interest in attacker Reiss Nelson, who has suitors from across Europe.
