"Transfer news expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on Arsenal's move for Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie and the potential departure of Jakub Kiwior. The Gunners have had a busy summer bringing in big names like Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Eberechi Eze and Noni Madueke, and it seems they're not done yet. According to Romano, Arsenal are now in direct talks to try to sign Hincapie from Leverkusen, and that move would likely then allow Kiwior to complete a switch to Porto."
"Arsenal have made a huge amount of defensive signings under Mikel Arteta and that seems set to continue if these deals progress. AFC already have William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes as their clear starters at centre-back, while Cristhian Mosquera joined from Valencia earlier this summer. Still, it seems Arteta is keen on even more depth in that department as Hincapie could replace Kiwior."
Arsenal are in direct negotiations with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Piero Hincapie after personal terms were agreed. The club prefers a loan with an obligation to buy, and the deal's completion depends on Bayer approving the proposed structure. If Hincapie joins, Jakub Kiwior would be permitted to move to FC Porto. Arsenal have strengthened their defence heavily this summer, with William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes established as starters and Cristhian Mosquera added. Hincapie can also cover left-back, providing additional depth alongside Riccardo Calafiori, Myles Lewis-Skelly and Jurrien Timber.
