Hakimi's 'one of the best full backs in the world' - Renard not surprised by PSG impact

The right-back has been a hit for the Parisians and will be lining up against Manchester City on Tuesday night

Herve Renard insists he is not surprised with Achraf Hakimi's great start with French heavyweights PSG.

The Atlas Lion was signed by the Parisians from Inter Milan and is currently one of their key players. It is not surprising for the 52-year-old who insisted he anticipated the same level of performance from the defender.

"No, that doesn't surprise me at all. I said that before the official games started," Renard told Goal.
