Inter closing in on new right-back

Inter are closing in on the €40m capture of Real Madrid right-back Achraf Hakimi, reports The Guardian. 

The Moroccan youngster has spent the last two seasons with Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund and has seen his stock soar during his time in Germany. 

Saturday's welcome of Hoffenheim is expected to signal Hakimi's final game for Borussia Dortmund with a high profile summer move now on the cards. 

Hakimi had been expected to return to Real Madrid and compete with Dani Carvajal with a regular starting spot for Los Blancos. 

However, it appears Hakimi is close to a move to Inter having agreed a five-year deal with the Serie A powerhouse. 

Head coach Antonio Conte is in the market for a new right-back and was recently linked with a move for Manchester City's Kyle Walker. 

21-year-old Hakimi's expected summer switch to Inter will come as a blow to a host of sides that had been chasing his signature, including Chelsea. 

Hakimi has scored five goals and registered 10 assists for Borussia Dortmund this season to help yield a WhoScored rating of 7.35.
