Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie at the end of the season.
According to a report from SportBILD via SportWitness, Tottenham are long-term admirers of the Ecuador International and they tried to sign the player back in 2023 as well.
The defender has a long-term contract with the German club, and they want €70 million for him. It will be interesting to see if Tottenham are prepared to pay the asking price for the player. They need to add more quality and depth to the defensive unit, and Hincapie would be a long-term acquisition for them.
He has been branded as a ‘leader’ and a ‘warrior’ by his agent in the past.
Apart from being able to operate as a central defender, the South American has the ability to slot in as the left-back as well. His versatility will be an added bonus. However, the asking price could complicate matters. Tottenham need to improve the other areas of their squad as well and spending €70 million on the defender could prove to be difficult.
The defence is an area of concern for the London club. They have lacked quality in the defence this season mainly because of injury problems. They need to add another quality central defender to their ranks and the Leverkusen defender should prove to be the ideal acquisition.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be quite exciting for the player as well. It would be a major step up in his career and he would get to test himself at a high level. He has already helped the German club with the league title, and he might want to take up a new challenge at this stage of his career.
Spurs could be an exciting destination for him. Even though they have struggled this season, they have an ambitious project and a talented squad.
