Arsenal Signs Defender Piero Hincapie on Loan from Bayer Leverkusen
Arsenal has secured the signing of defender Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen on a season-long loan, which includes an option to buy.
The Gunners have reached an agreement for a potential permanent transfer fee of £45 million (52 million euros) for the Ecuador international, should they choose to make the move next summer.
Since joining Leverkusen in 2021, Hincapie has made 166 appearances across all competitions and was part of the squad that clinched the Bundesliga and the German Cup titles in the 2023-24 season.
The 23-year-old becomes manager Mikel Arteta's eighth signing of the summer, following Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Cristhian Mosquera, and Eberechi Eze.
