Borussia Dortmund’s Hakimi aims to emulate Real Madrid's Dani Carvajal

Borussia Dortmund defender Achraf Hakimi is aiming to emulate Real Madrid right-back, Dani Carvajal.

The 20-year-old is currently on a two-year-loan with Dortmund, having joined them in the summer of 2018 from Real Madrid in an effort to secure more game time and gather experience.
