🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal reach agreement with Bayer Leverkusen to sign Piero Hincapie. Season-long loan from #Bayer04 + buy option. Package worth €52m & 10% sell-on. 5yr deal upon permanent transfer. Set to travel this weekend for #AFC medical @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/PgboU46oVT
I’ve got to say, Andrea Berta is our signing of the summer.
It’s not just depth, it’s quality in depth.
Summer 2022 Edu bought (Marquinhos £3m, Vieira £29.9m, Turner) but Jesus (£45m) & Zinchenko (£30m) were statement moves. The focus during Edu’s time was depth without focusing on quality in depth.
Berta’s gone 8/8 (Hincapié incoming) all prime, pure quality. Bro has casually shown Edu how the job is done in one window 🔥
🚨💣 Understand Arsenal are closing in on Piero Hincapié deal with Bayer, here we go soon!
Agreement almost done as Bayer accept loan with obligation to buy for Hincapié as formula wanted by #AFC.
Details on fee structure being sorted and then here we go coming next. ❤️🤍🇪🇨
🚨⚠️ Eberechi Eze will not play for Crystal Palace tonight.
Decision follows direct contact between Eze and Oliver Glasner today.
Arsenal have already booked medical for Eze ahead of £60m deal set to be sealed.
🚨 Members of the Arsenal hierarchy; Jason Ayto, Richard Garlick and Tim Lewis, are all in attendance as Arsenal face Manchester United today. ✅👔
