Chelsea Eyeing Achraf Hakimi as Part of Mauricio Pochettino’s Summer Rebuild Plans

Reports suggest that Mauricio Pochettino, who is being tipped as the potential new manager for Chelsea Football Club, is already planning a busy transfer window. The Argentine manager is said to be looking to use his connections at Paris Saint-Germain to land the signing of Achraf Hakimi.

The Blues are in need of a major overhaul despite having spent a significant amount of money on new players since the arrival of Todd Boehly. While Chelsea has made numerous big-name signings, these players have struggled to make an impact under both Graham Potter and Frank Lampard.

As a result, Chelsea has interviewed numerous candidates for their next managerial appointment. Although Julian Nagelsmann has dropped out of the running and Luis Enrique is intimidating the club with his desire for control, Pochettino seems to be the favorite for the job due to the positive feeling around him.

Pochettino is reportedly keen to utilize the vast array of young players already at Chelsea. However, he is also looking to reinforce the squad with new signings. According to TEAMtalk, Chelsea has been alerted to the news that PSG is willing to entertain offers for some of their key players, including Hakimi.

Achraf Hakimi is a highly versatile full-back who has impressed with his performances for PSG this season. The Moroccan international joined PSG from Inter Milan in the summer of 2021 and has been a key player for the French club. Hakimi’s ability to play on both flanks makes him a valuable asset for any team, and Pochettino is reportedly keen to bring him to Stamford Bridge.

If Pochettino does take over as Chelsea’s new manager, it seems likely that he will be given the funds needed to rebuild the squad. Chelsea is a club that demands success, and with the right investment in new players, the Blues could soon be back at the top of English football.
