Arsenal's shocking transfer

If Arsenal complete the signing of centre-back Piero Hincapie before the transfer window closes, they will raise their summer spending to 355 million euros (equivalent to 307 million pounds).

Piero Hincapié is likely to become Arsenal's new player this summer.

According to sources from BBC and ESPN , coach Mikel Arteta's team is close to recruiting Hincapie from Bayer Leverkusen for 60 million euros. If this deal is completed, Arsenal will increase their shopping budget this summer to 355 million euros (equivalent to 307 million pounds).

The English football transfer record in a single transfer window is currently held by Chelsea with 464 million euros in the summer of 2023. However, if considering net spending (money spent on players minus money spent on players sold), "The Blues" only spent more than 190 million euros in the summer transfer window two years ago.

Meanwhile, Arsenal have only collected 8 million euros from player sales this summer. According to The Times ' prediction, even if they successfully sell some players like Oleksandr Zinchenko, Fábio Vieira or Oleksandr Zinchenko, Arsenal will still be the team that spends the most in English football in a transfer period.

So far in the 2025 summer transfer window, Arsenal have spent more than 300 million euros, putting the team far ahead of many of its rivals in terms of investment. Only Liverpool (340 million euros) have spent more than Arsenal this summer. If they complete the recruitment of Hincapie, Arsenal will surpass Liverpool.

Previously, after buying Eberechi Eze from Crystal Palace for up to 80 million euros, Coach Arteta's total spending at Emirates Stadium exceeded 1 billion euros. According to The Athletic , since Arteta led Arsenal in 2019, no coach in the world has spent more than the Spanish coach.

When it comes to net spending, since Arteta took over in December 2019, the north Londoners have spent €850m, far outstripping Manchester City - who spent just €198m under Pep Guardiola in the same period.
