Marseille's club captain can help replace Rice's qualities both on and off the pitch.

Athletically supreme and technically gifted, Achraf Hakimi is the perfect wing-back.

Soon, he will have a huge decision to make. #WednesdayWisdom

[THREAD][1/10] "In June, I will have to make a decision and it will be a great step for my career."

1) Displace Dani Carvajal
2) Stay at Borussia Dortmund
3) Join a completely new club

Every option is possible for this hyper-talented player.
