Now, now… who? Yes, Achraf Hakim – an 18-year-old right-back who is destined to be the next Dani Carvajal. To be honest, though, Achraf is better than Carvajal was when he was 18. And now look where Carvajal is, constantly rated as the best right-back in the world and has three Champions League winners medal to his name in five years of competitive football.

Hakimi is a Real Madrid Castilla player who is set to leave the club in order to gain first-team experience. Alaves seems like the most likely destination as of now, but Spurs can chip in and steal him away. It is almost certain that Hakimi will play for Real’s first team someday, but given that Carvajal still has at least 6-7 years left in him, Spurs could enjoy Hakimi’s services for quite a few years.

Now there is a question of suiting the Premier League because after all, he is only 18. With Kyle Walker set to leave Spurs, it is only logical to replace him with another blazing attacking right-back, and Hakimi is just that.
