Defender Piero Hincapie has been capped 46 times by Ecuador
Arsenal have signed defender Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
The Gunners have agreed a fee of £45m (52m euros) for the Ecuador international should they want to sign him permanently next summer.
Hincapie made 166 appearances in all competitions for Leverkusen after joining in 2021 and was part of the squad that won the Bundesliga and German Cup in 2023-24.
The 23-year-old, who will wear number five, is manager Mikel Arteta's eighth signing of the summer, after Viktor Gyokeres, Martin Zubimendi, Christian Norgaard, Noni Madueke, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Cristhian Mosquera and Eberechi Eze.
