Tottenham's transfer market plan is completely shaken by Arsenal in the 'North London rival'.
The BBC, a British public broadcaster, reported on the 26th (Korea time) that Arsenal is seeking to recruit Leverkusen defender Piero Incapi.
Born in 2002, defender Incapier entered the European stage after his professional debut in 2019, joining Leverkusen in 2021. He is a promising defender who stands out for his versatility, daredevil play, and fast speed that can play both center back and left back. Despite his young age, he immediately grew into a main player at Leverkusen because of his excellent judgment. In the 2023-2024 season, Incapier, who played under coach Xavi Alonso and contributed to Leverkusen's unbeaten victory, played more than 40 games in the previous three consecutive seasons, proving durability.

Incapier has been attracting attention from several clubs this season, and Tottenham was one of them. Tottenham appear to be seeking to sign a centre-back, with Luka Vushkovic nearing loan. But there is a problem. North London rival Arsenal are on the verge of turning things around as they take part in the recruitment campaign. David Onstein, the highest-profile European football transfer market expert, said he prefers Arsenal to move to Incapier.
The BBC is also interested in recruiting Incapier. Arsenal are looking to sign a left-back this summer, with Incapier emerging as a strong candidate. Incapier wants to leave Leverkusen before the transfer window closes this summer. Tottenham are also targeting Incapier, but some sources said it was not Tottenham's target right now.
There are even rumors that the player rejected it. Reporter Paul Okieff, familiar with Tottenham's news, said 'Tottenham approached Incapier, but the player refused. It wasn't a complicated task, he explained, adding that the player rejected the Tottenham transfer itself.

It is not the first time this summer that Tottenham lost its transfer market target to Arsenal. Recently, Eberechi Eze was selected as a candidate to fill the void of James Maddison and Son Heung-min, but the situation was reversed by Arsenal's participation in the match just before the contract was signed. Eze wore his dream club Arsenal uniform, and Tottenham have yet to sign a replacement candidate.
Tottenham fans have spoken about the Incapier saga saying they "hate you so much" and "the rival club are completely teasing us.", "Honestly, I'm a little ashamed..." he expressed a strong dissatisfaction. It is inevitable that Tottenham is humiliated by kneeling in front of rival clubs twice in the transfer market.
