It really isn’t hard to see why Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing Achraf Hakimi.
Last week, the Real Madrid-owned right-back posted an electrifying performance in helping loan side Borussia Dortmund to a stunning 4-0 win over Schalke.
And on Saturday, Hakimi was on the scoresheet as Dortmund won 2-0 away to Wolfsburg.
Tottenham haven’t had a right-back of that quality since Kyle Walker left to join Manchester City in 2017, with Serge Aurier and Kieran Trippier being a tad suspect.
According to Bladi, Spurs are interested in the 21-year-old – who’s the fastest player in the history of the Bundesliga – and here’s how rival fans reacted to the star’s performance yesterday afternoon.
Is Hakimi attainable for Tottenham? Well, not exactly.
Firstly, Real are interested in having him back once his two-year loan expires this summer.
And secondly, he’s got a £50 million release clause in the Spanish capital – and with Spurs ‘severely restricted’ spending-wise this summer [The Standard], that figure is a no-go.
