Achraf Hakimi
Former Arsenal and France international Bacary Sagna says that he’s been hugely impressed with the rise of Achraf Hakimi at Inter Milan. Hakimi is currently being scouted by Arsenal as the Gunners are looking at further options at right back. They currently have Hector Bellerin and Cedric Suarez in that role.
Bacary Sagna heaps praise on Achraf Hakimi
Achraf Hakimi currently is on the radar of two London clubs- Chelsea and Arsenal with the former being more interested in the right wingback. Hakimi made the switch from Borussia Dortmund to Inter Milan while being on loan at Germany. He was extremely impressive at Germany during his stay.
He made 73 appearances in all competitions, scoring 12 goals and picking up 17 assists during his stay at the German club.
That form saw him being signed by Inter Milan last summer transfer window in a deal worth at initial €40 million (£35m/$47m) . The 22-year-old has gone on to contribute six goals and five assists during his debut season in Italy.
“I am sure they are assessing the situation quite well and they already have someone in mind [if Bellerin leaves].
“Hakimi is never tired, he’s always going forward. He’s so fast.
“I was surprised when I saw him playing for Madrid because for me he was not that good. You could see the potential, but I never expected him to do as well as he is doing now.”
