Tottenham have joined Arsenal in the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen defender Piero Hincapie.
Hincapie signed for Bayer Leverkusen in 2021, joining the club from Argentinian Talleres. The 20-year-old became a regular for the German team last season, taking charge of 27 league games.

According to Calcio Mercato, both Tottenham and Arsenal are showing interest in Hincapie.
