Achraf Hakimi's agent sends Arsenal transfer message amid Inter Milan exit links

  /  autty

Achraf Hakimi's representative has responded to recent speculation linking the Inter Milan star with a move away from the Nerazzurri.

Hakimi, 22, has excelled for the Serie A leaders this season to earn himself a number of suitors in Italy and the Premier League.

Arsenal are long-term admirers of the versatile Morocco international and reportedly see him as a replacement for Hector Bellerin, who is touted to join Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Chelsea and Napoli have also been credited with interest in Hakimi, who signed a five-year deal with Inter when he joined from Real Madrid for an initial £36million last summer.

But agent Alejandro Camano insists his client is going nowhere as he is perfectly content playing for Antonio Conte at San Siro.

"Hakimi is happy at Inter with Conte, who is an excellent coach," Camano told Italian outlet Radio Kiss Kiss .

"Conte's style of play suits Achraf and I think he will end up improving a lot because of this experience with the Nerazzurri."

Hakimi has only missed one of Inter's Serie A games this season - through yellow card suspension - and is the club's third-top scorer.

He operates as the right wing-back in Conte's system but he is also able to slot in on the right of a conventional back four.

While a move away from Inter is off the cards at present, Camano would like to see Hakimi join Napoli in the future.

During his interview with the Naples-based radio station, Camano was asked whether Hakimi could seal a move to the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium and responded: "Why not?"

"As an Argentinian, Napoli are the team of my heart. The greatest player of all time (Maradona) played for them. So we aren’t excluding anything for the future."
