This Monday, Paris Saint-Germain shared some good news: Achraf Hakimi, the 26-year-old Parisian right-back and Moroccan international, has won the Lion d’Or 2024. This is the trophy for the best African player awarded by the Almountakhab newspaper.
“Achraf Hakimi has won the Lion d’Or 2024, the trophy awarded to the best African player of the year by the Almountakhab newspaper.”
It’s a fine reward for Hakimi, who has often performed well for PSG and Morocco, while displaying impressive athleticism. Both with his incessant running during a match and his ability to string together a series of first-team appearances.
At PSG, he seems to have turned a corner in terms of consistency and defensive play under coach Luis Enrique. The Moroccan is also one of the vice-captains, a sign of his maturity. We wish him all the best.
