'I never expected him to do that well': Sagna proven wrong by Arsenal rumoured target Hakimi

"I am sure they are assessing the situation quite well and they already have someone in mind [if Bellerin leaves]," Bacary Sagna told Goal.

"Hakimi is never tired, he’s always going forward. He’s so fast.

"I was surprised when I saw him playing for Madrid because for me he was not that good. You could see the potential, but I never expected him to do as well as he is doing now."

Earlier in March, The Telegraph reported that Arsenal are keen on landing Hakimi in the summer.

In February, rumours about Hector Bellerin leaving the Emirates re-emerged, and Achraf could arrive as a replacement to the Spaniard.

Hakimi has scored 6 goals and provided 5 assists in 26 Serie A games this season. At Inter, he is primarily used as a right wing-back in Antonio Conte's three-at-the-back system.
