Overview

• Fabrizio Romano reports Piero Hincapié has agreed personal terms with Arsenal, who are preparing an opening proposal likely structured as an initial loan with an obligation to buy.
• German outlet Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger says it is considered quite possible Leverkusen could accept a loan-to-buy framework despite a €60m (£52m) clause.
• FC Porto have submitted an official offer for Jakub Kiwior as a loan with an obligation worth in excess of €25m, with the defender saying yes and Portuguese reports suggesting a medical could happen today.
• Arsenal have approached Girona for right-back Arnau Martínez with a proposal of €8m plus €2m in bonuses, according to Santi Aouna and subsequent reports.
• Further moves are tied to outgoings after a £250m–£270m spend, with Arteta viewing Hincapié as an ideal left-sided defensive addition and Reiss Nelson’s possible Fulham return still under discussion.
