Overview

• Arsenal and Bayer Leverkusen have agreed a season‑long loan for Hincapié that includes a buy clause, with the total package reported at about €52m (£45m).
• Hincapié is expected to travel from Germany to London this weekend to undergo his medical before finalising the move.
• Upon a permanent transfer next year, the 23‑year‑old is set to sign a five‑year contract, and the agreement includes a 10% sell‑on clause.
• Jakub Kiwior is close to joining FC Porto on a loan with an obligation to buy valued around €25–26m, with his exit linked to Hincapié’s arrival.
• Outlets differ on whether the clause is an option or an obligation to buy, and some reported an initial Leverkusen denial before the deal structure was widely confirmed.
