Piero Hincapié is a left-sided defender who became a key figure in Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen side, contributing to their historic unbeaten Bundesliga title in 2023-24 before a high-profile move to Arsenal in 2025. Technically assured and aggressive in one-on-one situations, he excels in possession-based systems that ask defenders to play out from the back under pressure. Like Willian Pacho, he came through Independiente del Valle, underlining that academy's extraordinary output. For Ecuador, Hincapié is a first-choice starter whose club form at Arsenal will set the tone for his World Cup tournament.
