ARSENAL AND PIERO HINCAPIE TRANSFER LINKS FULL STORY
According to reports, Arsenal are interested in signing Piero Hincapie. The defender plays for the Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. The report also claims that the Gunners are not the only Premier League side monitoring his situation. It also claims that a number of Premier League sides are monitoring his situation. It is not just the Premier League sides that have shown interest in him.
The report also claims that a number of top clubs from Italy are monitoring his situation. However, the Bundesliga side are not ready yet to sell the player. They are planning to offer him a new contract extension. This will be done to protect his value. It will also help them keep the player for a longer time. Hence, Arsenal will have to be tough negotiators in the transfer negotiations.
THE LINKS TO THE GUNNERS ARE A BIT CONFUSING AT THE MOMENT
There is no doubt that Piero is a brilliant player. However, the links with the Gunners are a bit confusing at the moment. At the moment, Mikel Arteta already has William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhaes, Rob Holding, and Ben White. Hence, the links seem a bit off at the moment. Therefore, it will be difficult to see a transfer happening in the January transfer window.
However, there will be a chance in the summer transfer window. If Piero Hincapie wants to go to Arsenal, he will have to wait till the next summer transfer window. This is because Rob Holding may be sold the next summer. Hence, this will make space for a new defender. Therefore, Piero surely has to be one of the potential transfer targets.
Hence, Arsenal must keep an eye on the Piero Hincapie situation for the future. Mikel Arteta has a reputation for developing young players into world-class players. Hence, the deal would be beneficial for all parties in the future.
