Arsenal launched rookie Piero Hincapie. |
Immediately after signing the contract, the Ecuador player shared his joy and excitement: “Right from the first discussion with Arsenal, I knew this was an ideal destination. I was very happy to join the team and expect to integrate with my new teammates to a successful season.”
Hincapie revealed that conversations with his former teammate in Leverkusen, Granit Xhaka, have contributed greatly to his decision. “I talked a lot with Granit about Arsenal. He shared a lot about the club's culture and spirit. These words really made me impressed.
The appearance of Hincapie is expected to strengthen the Arsenal defense, especially when Saliba has to take a break. With the ability to play firmly, good techniques and flexibility, the 23 -year -old center -back promises to be an important piece in the squad of coach Mikel Arteta. Hincapie's goal is not only integration but also “winning the title and leaving a mark” at the Emirates.
Before becoming Hincapie's teammate in Leverkusen, Granit Xhaka was the captain of Arsenal for 7 years. After 2 successful seasons in Leverkusen, Xhaka returned to the Premier League this summer in the Sunderland rookie shirt. Xhaka's share of Arsenal helped Hincapie quickly make a decision to join the Gunners, showing the influence of the former captain to colleagues.
With the talent that has been confirmed in Leverkusen and the experience of playing in both the Bundesliga and the international arena, Hincapie is expected to bring stability and quality to the Arsenal defense. And probably the Gunners fans are also very eager to expect the performance of this rookie, when the team aims to compete for the title in the 2025/26 season.
