Ecuador international Piero Hincapie, who spent the 2025/26 season on loan at Arsenal from Bayer 04 Leverkusen, will join the Gunners on a permanent basis after Arsenal activated a purchase option. Leverkusen's announcement confirms the option was exercised and the transfer completed. Reporting around the move describes Hincapie as having been a regular for Arsenal last season and a contributor to the club's recent success.

Multiple outlets report a transfer fee in the mid‑tens of millions in sterling or euros; one widely cited figure is roughly 34.5m (about 40m) and other reports put the sum around 35m, with some outlets saying add‑ons apply. Coverage notes Hincapie is a 24‑year‑old defender able to play at centre‑back or left‑back and that he made a large number of appearances for Arsenal during his loan, including participation with Ecuador at the World Cup.
