Paris Saint-Germain right-back Achraf Hakimi is playing at an impressive level. The 25-year-old has scored four goals and registered four assists in 15 appearances in all competitions.
The AC Milan left-back has emerged as the sole defender to consistently find the back of the net. On Saturday night, Hernández scored in AC Milan’s 1-0 win over ACF Fiorentina, registering at least two goals in the last five Serie A seasons.

Furthermore, this remarkable accomplishment places him second only to PSG’s Hakimi in the broader context of the big five European leagues during the same period.
Hakimi is also in the race for the title of best African player, mainly thanks to his excellent start to the season. In addition, his journey with Morocco in the World Cup in Qatar necessarily weighs on the player’s candidacy.
