Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly expressed interest in signing Bayer Leverkusen star Piero Hincapié this summer, according to the German outlet. sports image.
Following the German team's impressive performances this season, several of its star players have gone unnoticed by some European giants ahead of the next window.
Jeremie Frimpong, Jonathan Tah and Edmond Tabsoba have all been linked with a move away from BayArena and Piero Hincapié is also the subject of attention.
The Ecuadorian was strongly linked with a move to first division last summer with Liverpool being mentioned as a potential destination. However, the Reds did not formalize their interest, so the move never materialized.
Now, as we quote and translate the printed version of sports image, sports witness has reported that Tottenham has already expressed its intentions to sign the South American and could formalize its interest during the preseason.

The report further claims that Leverkusen could be willing to cash in on Hincapié to raise funds to bolster other areas of the team and could accept a fee of around £34 million. Thus, the Lilywhites could be able to acquire the services of the defender at an affordable price if they made a concrete approach.
It has been suggested that Ange Postecoglou is interested in adding depth to the centre-back position, so despite recently signing Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin, Spurs plan to buy a new defender ahead of next season.
Hincapié is a technically solid defender and feels very comfortable with the ball at his feet. The left-footed centre-back is fast, good in the air, can make passes between the lines, is comfortable playing in the high line and also efficient in defensive contributions.
The South American is a talented player and has great potential. He is still only 22 years old and could be a smart signing for Tottenham to back Van de Ven if they buy him.
However, it will be interesting to see if the north London club ultimately opts to make a concrete decision to acquire the services of the Leverkusen star in the coming years. transfer window.
