Arteta admires Hincapié and believes he would add depth and competition across the backline. Arsenal plan an opening proposal structured as an initial loan with an obligation to buy to spread costs and retain flexibility.

Arsenal look set to take a major step forward in their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that the Ecuadorian international has given the green light to a move to North London. According to Romano, personal terms have already been agreed, with a long-term deal prepared and ready to be signed once the clubs finalise the transfer structure.
Arsenal's plan is to table an opening proposal that will likely take the form of an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy. Such a structure would give the Gunners some flexibility in this window while securing a long-term solution for their defensive unit. It also fits with Arsenal's strategy of spreading costs across multiple windows while still competing for top-level players.
