Piero Hincapie has given Arsenal supporters a glimpse of his quality after delivering a standout display for Ecuador in their clash with Argentina. The centre-back was a deadline-day signing from Bayer Leverkusen, joining despite the Gunners already securing Cristian Mosquera from Valencia.
With William Saliba sidelined following an injury picked up against Liverpool, a vacancy has opened up in Arsenal’s defence. Mosquera’s calm and composed showing off the bench at Anfield currently makes him the frontrunner to partner Gabriel when the Gunners face Nottingham Forest.
However, Hincapie’s commanding international performance may leave Mikel Arteta with a difficult choice. The Arsenal boss must now decide whether to hand the 23-year-old his debut at the Emirates this weekend.
