Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that he was very close to signing Achraf Hakimi for Tottenham.
The Argentinian is now in charge of Paris Saint-Germain and he brought the 22-year-old wing-back to the Parc des Princes from Inter Milan for around €70 million (£60 million) in July (Goal).
Hakimi is a truly top class player and the 37-capped Morocco international will undoubtedly go on to become a real hit in Ligue 1 and on the world stage.
What a brilliant signing the 22-year-old already looks for PSG. Things could have been very different, however.
