London’s fierce rivals Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly targeting Inter Milan full-back Achraf Hakimi ahead of a possible summer transfer.
Hakimi, 22, only joined Inter Milan last summer following a permanent £ 36million transfer from La Liga giant Real Madrid. Since arriving in Milan, the highly rated attacking full-back has made 33 appearances in all competitions and directly contributed to an impressive 12 goals.
Hakimi is widely regarded as one of Europe’s most explosive full-backs, however, despite a strong presence in Antonio Conte’s first-team plans, there are growing fears the Moroccan could pass. to something else. According to a recent Telegraph report, Hakimi has become a summer transfer for Premier League duo Chelsea and Arsenal.
The Telegraph says Arsenal continue to search for a potential replacement for Hector Bellerin, who has been urged to leave in the coming months. Elsewhere, Chelsea are said to be keen to bring in Hakimi and play him as a wide midfielder or attacking winger with current defender Reece James firmly consolidated as the team’s first choice right-back.
