The Tottenham Hotspur wants to sign Piero Hincapié before the end of the summer transfer window as a key piece for Thomas Frank's project, as reported by Paul O Keefe.

The Ecuadorian center-back, currently at Bayer Leverkusen, has become the top target for the Spurs, who are seeking a player to complement Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven in defense. The London club is willing to make a significant financial effort, although the German side is not planning to let go of one of their stars easily.

Piero Hincapié, key at Bayer Leverkusen

At just 23 years of age, Piero Hincapié was crucial to the success of the team coached at the time by Xabi Alonso, who clinched the Bundesliga title after an unbeaten season. His versatility allowed him to play both as a center-back and left-back, adapting to the three-defender system that propelled Leverkusen to the championship.

The Ecuadorian's ability to anticipate, his aggressiveness in duels, and his composure in ball distribution have made him one of Europe's most sought-after defenders. In the last season, he played 35 official matches, boasting an 89% passing accuracy and an average of 2.4 interceptions per game.

Thomas Frank's bet at Tottenham

The new Spurs manager, Thomas Frank, sees the South American as an ideal piece to strengthen the left side of defense. His signing would allow flexibility between a four-man backline and a three-center-back setup, depending on the opponent and match progression.

Although Micky van de Ven has secured his spot as a starter, Hincapié's arrival would offer more versatility and internal competition. Sources close to the coach indicate, "A player like him would give us the possibility to change the system without losing balance."

Competition with Chelsea

The main obstacle is Bayer Leverkusen's stance, demanding a high fee for the player. Reports from Germany suggest a figure exceeding 45 million euros, considering his youth and contract until 2027.

The Chelsea side is also in the race. The Londoners have identified him as a replacement for Levi Colwill and could push for his transfer before the market closes. However, Tottenham aims to get ahead in negotiations and finalize the deal as soon as possible.

Tottenham and their transfer market

Interest in Piero Hincapié comes in a market where the Spurs have already added Mohammed Kudus and João Palhinha. However, James Maddison's injury prompted the club to explore alternatives like Eberechi Eze, a Crystal Palace player also sought by Arsenal.

Furthermore, Tottenham is in talks for Savinho, a Brazilian winger owned by Manchester City, aiming to bolster the attack force. Frank desires a deep squad to compete in both the Premier League and European competitions.

In conclusion, the North London team wants to sign the Ecuadorian to strengthen and solidify their defense to compete for top positions in the Premier League and make an impact in the UEFA Champions League.
