Chelsea ‘enquire about Real Madrid’s Achraf Hakimi’ as Frank Lampard looks to bolster options 

Chelsea have enquired about the possibility of signing Real Madrid defender Achraf Hakimi.

Hakimi, who can play on either side of the defence but is usually deployed at right-back, has impressed while on loan at Borussia Dortmund.

As reported by The Mirror, Chelsea boss Frank Lampard sees the 21-year-old as an excellent option to bolster his defensive resources.

Cesar Azpilicueta is useful at either right-back or left-back but Hakimi would represent a more long term option.

Chelsea also have Marcos Alonso and Emerson to call upon at left-back but the Blues could also do with an upgrade in that department. 

A product of Real Madrid’s youth system, Hakimi is a Morocco international who has been capped by his country on 28 occasions.

Hakimi has made 17 appearances for Real and featured in their Champions League winning campaign in 2017-18.

In 2018 Hakimi joined Dortmund on a two-year loan deal and he has gone from strength to strength while with the German side.

Hakimi’s current contract at Real is set to run until the summer of 2022.
