Barcelona are looking to improve the defensive unit, and they are keeping tabs on the Arsenal defender Piero Hincapie, as per Fichajes. The 23-year-old Ecuadorian is on loan at the Premier League club, but he has not been a regular starter for them. Arsenal have an option to sign him permanently for 45 million at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see if they take up the opportunity.

Arsenal are on the verge of a deal to sign Bayer Leverkusen's versatile Ecuador international defender Piero Hincapie, with Jakub Kiwior also set to leave. According to two updates this morning from Fabrizio Romano, the Gunners are closing in on Hincapie, while Kiwior is also getting closer to finalising his move to Porto. Romano says it will be here we go' soon for the Hincapie to Arsenal transfer, with the clubs just finalising the details of the payment structure for the deal.

Chelsea is preparing to finalize a deal for another centre-back to enhance their defense, particularly after Levi Colwill's injury has left them short on players.
