Arsenal have exercised the purchase option in Piero Hincapié’s loan contract, signing the versatile defender on a five-year contract from Bayer Leverkusen.
The 24-year-old became a prominent fixture in Arsenal’s Premier League title-winning side, having started the season acting as an understudy for Riccardo Calafiori at left back. The Ecuadorian, currently representing his country at the 2026 World Cup, eventually became first choice, with Mikel Arteta entrusting him to see the Gunners through to a first league crown in 22 years.
