Chelsea have been linked with Achraf Hakimi once again in the last couple of days, but it still seems very hopeful to us.
There are just too many question marks, on every side of the deal.
Jamie Wilkinson of CaughtOffside put it best in his Tweet on the subject. His “0%” estimate is only a point or two off our guess.

Let’s face it, Jamie is talking big sense here.
As much as we’d like to feed your dreams of the right wing back coming to Chelsea, with Reece James shifting to centre back in a back 3 to get both of them into a team, it’s just not happening.
Wilkinson focuses on the personal element, but there’s also the pure financials of the deal. PSG only signed Hakimi a year ago, and even if he’s desperate to leave, they have all the cards, and wouldn’t accept anything less than what they paid for him – and they could happily demand double. They’re not exactly strapped for cash.
