Spurs are contemplating a move for 21-year-old defender Piero Hincapie, and now the move is more likely, as it looks like he needs to find a new club next month.
Tottenham have been keen on signing a new center-back for months now, with the likes of Marc Guehi and Radu Dragusin circulating the media as viable and preferred options for the upcoming transfer window. Another name to add to the list may be Bayer Leverkusen’s Piero Hincapie.
According to TeamTalk, Spurs are tracking the player along with interest from Newcastle and Liverpool. Newcastle have struggled with massive injury losses this season, with Sven Botman returning to action last weekend. Liverpool also want more defenders with the recent loss of Joel Matip.
However, there are a number of points that have complicated the deal for the trio of Premier League clubs.
Firstly, Leverkusen are keen to retain the player in January, with defenders Edmond Tapsoba and Odilon Kossounou spending overseas assignments while their countries take part in the African Cup of Nations during the first one or two months of the year. dilemma, the German club added a £60 million release clause to the player’s contract.
With this in mind, it’s unlikely that Hincapie will go for less than the price the club have set for his immediate purchase.
However, recently the player expressed interest in leaving, which could move the deal forward. The update comes from Sky Sports journalist Florian Plettenberg.

Hincapie played 27 league games in the 21/22 season and 30 in the 22/23 season, but has only played 8 games this campaign.
As things stand, Tottenham will want to sign a new centre-back in this window. A young left-footer like Hincapie, who enjoys a lot at the best club and also wants to leave, could be the ideal candidate. .
