Should they take it up, Hincapie will sign a five-year contract on signing permanently, with Arsenal including a 10 per cent sell-on in the deal.
The 46-cap Ecuador international is expected to travel to North London this weekend to undergo a medical.
He is set to become the latest signing in a big-spending summer for Mikel Arteta, who has already splashed more than £200m on the likes of Martin Zubimendi, Noni Madueke, Viktor Gyokeres and Eberechi Eze.
