Defender Hincapie Secures Permanent Move to Arsenal
Defender Piero Hincapie has permanently transferred from Bayer Leverkusen to Arsenal.
Arsenal secured a £45million (52million euros) fee for the Ecuadorian international following his loan move last summer.
The 24-year-old defender made 39 appearances across all competitions under Mikel Arteta as Arsenal claimed the Premier League title.
Leverkusen stated: “The conditions for the purchase option were met and defender Hincapie will therefore continue his career with the London club in the Premier League in the coming years.”
Hincapie is currently representing Ecuador at the World Cup, where they will face Germany on Thursday.
