Hakimi is a skilled right wing-back who can make a difference at both ends of the pitch. He has the quality and the experience to make an immediate impact.

And the Daily Express says Hakimi is high up on his wish-list. The 22-year-old is currently enjoying life with Inter Milan, having just won the Serie A title with the Nerazzurri. It is believed Inter would be reluctant to sell Hakimi. The news comes as a blow to Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, who has identified the Morocco international as a replacement for Hector Bellerin. Whilst the Gunners are expected to spend this summer, it is hard to envisage a situation where they would outbid Bayern to sign Hakimi.”
