Chelsea have entered the race to sign £70million-rated Inter Milan star Achraf Hakimi, according to reports.

The Serie A champions are actively looking to sell one of their big-name stars this summer to raise some much-needed money.

The decision played a pivotal role in Antonio Conte quitting the San Siro – with the Italian now linked with the top job at Tottenham.

Hakimi, 22, appears to be the man on the way out, with Paris Saint-Germain having already launched a £52m bid.

The Ligue 1 giants’ first attempt was swiftly knocked back by Inter, with the Italian champions holding out for bids of around £70m.

Arsenal have already expressed an interest as they hunt for a new right-back, with Hector Bellerin – the club’s longest-serving player – expected to leave this summer.

And now Chelsea have joined the hunt for Hakimi, according to Sky Italia.
