Major news sources are reporting that a bid has been submitted by Tottenham for Piero Hincapie, the defender currently playing for Leverkusen. The move confirms reports of long-standing interest in the player, but whether the team will deem it enough for them to part with an important member of their squad remains to be seen. Porto, Arsenal and Chelsea may look to intervene if talks continue without resolution. Tottenham's back line has been a real strength this season, conceding just 0.71 goals per game (5 in 7). Piero Hincapie would be expected to slot into that unit and hold his own in an already solid setup. Leverkusen continue to be linked with Facundo Valentin Buonanotte, Maghnes Akliouche and Rasmus Winther Hojlund while Tottenham are also rumoured to be tracking Alexander Sorloth, Christopher Nkunku and Lorenzo Pellegrini.
