Arteta predicts Arsenal fans will fall in love with Piero Hincapié
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has expressed confidence that the club’s supporters will quickly fall in love with defender Piero Hincapié.
The Ecuadorian international joined Arsenal on loan from Bayer Leverkusen last summer and has already started to make an impression at the Emirates.
Arteta, whose side are currently four points clear at the top of the Premier League following a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Sunday, believes Hincapié will play a vital role in Arsenal’s title pursuit this season.
Arsenal also sit seven points ahead of reigning champions Liverpool and six clear of Manchester City.
Speaking after the win, Arteta said, “Our fans are gonna love Piero Hincapié, mark my words. It’s great to have Piero on the pitch. You could sense immediately his aggression, his commitment in every action that he does.”
