Arsenal look set to beat north London rivals Tottenham Hotspur to a major signing for the second time in the space of week, following a crucial breakthrough in talks with Piero Hincapié.
Spurs, having seen Eberechi Eze swiped from under their nose by the Gunners after being agreeing a deal with Crystal Palace, were keen on the Bayer Leverkusen centre back and looked to be making progress towards a deal that would eventually be worth €60 million (£51.8 million, $69.9 million).
