Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Piero Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen.
The 22-year-old central defender has attracted the attention of the north London club with his performances and it will be interesting to see if they decide to make a move for him in the remaining days of the term window.
According to Studio Futbol, Spurs are ‘very interested’ in securing his services and they will have to compete with their top four rivals Liverpool.
Hincapie has proven himself to be a reliable performer in the Bundesliga and he has the quality to succeed in English football as well. Tottenham need another quality central defender to complete the defensive unit for the foreseeable future and the South American would be the ideal acquisition.
He is young enough to improve further and he is already operating at a top class level. Hincapie will be tempted to compete at a higher level after proving himself in the Bundesliga and winning the league title with Leverkusen.
A move to Tottenham will be an exciting opportunity. Tottenham will look to compete for Champions League qualification next season and they will be competing in the UEFA Europa League as well. They have an ambitious project and an exciting squad. The Ecuador international could be attracted to the idea of joining them.
Similarly, Liverpool need defensive reinforcements after the departure of Joel Matip and Hincapie seems like the ideal fit for them as well. Both clubs have the financial resources to get the deal done but the German outfit are not keen on sanctioning his departure. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the Bundesliga champions with a lucrative offer in the coming weeks.
