With the World Cup now picking up pace and nearly every country involved having played two matches, transfer rumours are starting about those players who have impressed.
Whilst some of them will be obvious, such as PSV’s Cody Gakpo, there’s some lesser known players who are having their moment in the spotlight and taking advantage of it.
Piero Hincapié is one of those, with the Ecuador defender starting both of his country’s matches so far in Qatar. That’s seen Ecuador beat Qatar and then draw with the Netherlands, with the country on course for the knock-out stages.
He’s contracted until June 2026, so Chelsea have no pressure to put on in that respect.
Bild say that as well as the Chelsea claims, there’s also some interest from Arsenal and Tottenham.
Bayer Leverkusen director Simon Rolfes is quoted by Bild as saying: “Piero has been under contract with us for a long time, so I won’t comment on every rumour. There’s nothing more to say about that.”
Bild’s own information suggests the Bundesliga club are keen on a renewal.
