Arsenal's new £42m signing Piero Hincapie squares up to raging Liverpool star Alexis Mac Allister - and helps Ecuador beat Argentina to leave fans excited for his Premier League bow

New Arsenal signing Piero Hincapie has showed he is already up for the challenge of battling Liverpool after clashing with a furious Alexis Mac Allister on international duty.

Hincapie completed a deadline day move to Arsenal last week, joining on an initial loan deal with a £42million option to make the switch permanent next summer.

The defender has been in action for Ecuador over the international break, with the nation earning a 0-0 draw with Paraguay last week.

Hincapie helped Ecuador keeping another clean sheet on Tuesday night - their fifth consecutive in qualification - as they earned a 1-0 victory over reigning world champions Argentina.
