After the loan departure of Pablo Mari in the summer window and the likely permanent exit of the Spaniard in 2023, Arsenal were left with just one left-footed centre-half in Gabriel Magalhaes. Therefore it is unsurprising to see the Gunners linked with a potential move for Piero Hincapie to be a replacement for not only Mari but add further quality to a growing roster of impressive young defenders.
According to the Italian outlet Calciomercato Arsenal are one of a number of sides interested in signing the Ecuador international. He would cost in the range of €25m (£21.7m) amid having a successful spell in Germany with Bayer Leverkusen.
To find out more about the defender, football.london spoke to Lee Scott, a football analyst who has followed Hincapie for some time to provide in-depth insight into exactly what Arsenal would be getting.
