Inter Milan fullback Achraf Hakimi is open to moving to the Premier League this summer.

The Athletic reports Inter have failed to pay the first €10m (£9m) installment of the €40m (£35m) fee due to Real Madrid, with the deadline being put back until March.

With finances so precarious, they could be open to selling, and reports suggest Hakimi could be open to a Premier League move. Inter are believed to be willing to accept a fee in the region of £40m.

There are two clubs linked with an interest from the top flight, with Chelsea and Arsenal both having previously kept their eye on him.

Arsenal have been long-term admirers, having reportedly kept tabs on the full-back before his successful loan stints in the Bundesliga.

Hakimi has made 20 appearances for Antonio Conte's side this term, scoring six goals in the process.
