As reported earlier this month, Arsenal hope to shift both Jakub Kiwior and Oleksandr Zinchenko. Porto are expected to bid for the Polish defender this week. Kiwior, 25, has been with Arsenal since 2023, arriving from Spezia for around £20million, and he has offered cover at left-back and in the heart of defence.

Arsenal have bolstered their ranks at both ends of the pitch so far this summer, but further deals appear to be in the pipeline. Mikel Arteta has orchestrated a major rebuild of his ranks over the past few months, with marquee signings arriving in several departments.

Hincapie’s preference is to join Arsenal and the Premier League side are ready to push for him, should departures materialise.
