Real Madrid defender Achraf Hakimi loaned out to Borussia Dortmund

Borussia Dortmund have completed the loan signing of Real Madrid defender Achraf Hakimi.

Last season, Hakimi was drafted into the first-team setup at the Bernabeu and the 19-year-old made a total of 15 appearances in all competitions.

However, the signing of Alvaro Odriozola has resulted in Hakimi being demoted to third choice at right-back, and Real have acted by allowing the youngster to continue his development at Dortmund.

The Morocco international will spend the next two seasons at the Westfalenstadion before returning to Real, where he currently has three years remaining on his contract.

Hakimi has recently represented his nation at the World Cup, with the full-back starting each of the three group games against Iran, Portugal and Spain.
