Arsenal Set To Trigger Piero Hincapie’s $61M Buy Option After Strong Loan Spell

Loan-to-buy now looks permanent. Hincapie’s $61 million option is set to be triggered after 15 Arsenal starts despite a groin issue delaying his first XI debut until October. Mikel Arteta called him “a warrior,” praising his “versatility” across centre-back and left-back. The Ecuadorian has edged Riccardo Calafiori and Myles Lewis-Skelly for key minutes this season.
