Sports analytics providers Opta have taken to Social Media to highlight the attacking threat of Inter wing-back Achraf Hakimi, after he played a key role in their 1-0 win over Hellas Verona.

The Morocco international laid on an assist for fellow wing-back Matteo Darmian to settle the match at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza yesterday, taking his tally to six.

Hakimi has also scored six goals himself this season and Opta used Twitter to reveal that only Atalanta’s Robin Gosens can match his total.

“6 + 6 – Only two defenders in the top-5 European leagues 2020/21 have scored at least six goals and have delivered at least six assists (Achraf Hakimi and Robin Gosens). Essential,” Opta tweeted.
