Arsenal Complete Loan Signing of Piero Hincapie After Beating Tottenham to the Deal
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has heaped praise on the club’s latest addition, Piero Hincapie, describing him as a player who will add strength and competitiveness to his squad this season.
The Ecuadorian defender arrived from Bayer Leverkusen on a season-long loan, with the Gunners holding an option to make the deal permanent for around £45 million. Arsenal beat rivals Tottenham to his signature, after Spurs had been frontrunners for the deal.
At just 23, Hincapie has already built an impressive reputation, making 166 appearances for Leverkusen and playing a key role in their Bundesliga title triumph last season. He has now been handed the No. 5 shirt at the Emirates.
Arteta expressed excitement about the signing, highlighting the defender’s character and blend of youth and maturity. “He brings qualities that will make us stronger,” the Spaniard said. “We’re delighted to welcome Piero and his family into the Arsenal family.”
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
