Arsenal are in the market for a new right back this summer, and they appear to have a very lofty target.
Hector Bellerin’s future is unclear, and Fabrizio Romano claims that Arsenal will ‘100%’ buy a new right back this summer.
One target has really captured the imagination, as AS report that Arsenal want Inter Milan star Achraf Hakimi signed as soon as possible, with Mikel Arteta a big fan.
Hakimi would allegedly cost around €50million (£43million), with Inter seeking a proift having signed him from Real Madrid last summer.
The Moroccan international, 22, has hit six goals and six assists this season, impressing as a wing back under Antonio Conte.
Just how he fares as a full back in a four-man defence remains to be seen, but he certainly impressed on Sunday.
Hakimi was left on the bench for the game against Cagliari, but came on to create the winning goal, setting up Matteo Darmian’s goal.
Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to rave about Hakimi, suggesting that he is ‘unreal’ and ‘so good’, begging Arsenal to get him signed.
Others think Hakimi would be mad to join Arsenal, believing there is no chance Edu can pull this deal off.
