Hincapie began his professional career playing for Independiente del Valle in his home country, and a transfer to Talleres in Argentina followed. From there, after just 14 league games, German club Bayer Leverkusen called and were able to agree a $7 million fee for Hincapie. Spurs will be ready to pay almost four times that to sign the youngster, who already has 24 caps to his name.

Hincapie's contract in Germany runs until 2026.
