Piero Hincapie will stay at Arsenal after signing a long contract.

Arsenal think Hincapie is a key player and have chosen to keep him.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have been watching Hincapie, but he is not for sale after signing with Arsenal.

Real Madrid's chief scout watched Hincapie play at the World Cup on June 14.

Hincapie had a tough game against Ivory Coast's Yan Diomande, who was very fast.

The scout has been to several World Cup games to look at potential players, including one in New Jersey on June 13.

Hincapie is liked, but Arsenal do not want to sell him and are looking at other options.

Hincapie joined Arsenal for £34.45m plus £5.17m in bonuses after a good loan spell.
