Gunners have £45m option to buy defender next summer
Fulham capture Kevin from Shakhtar Donetsk
Arsenal signed Ecuador defender Piero Hincapié from Bayer Leverkusen on a season-long loan, the Premier League club said on Monday.
Since arriving at Leverkusen in 2021, the 23-year-old has made over 100 appearances and was instrumental in their 2023-24 Bundesliga triumph. Arsenal have a £45m agreement to buy Hincapié next summer if they decide to make his move permanent.
“Piero has a real physical presence, with his versatility and tactical flexibility giving us strong added defensive options,” the Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, said.
