Achraf Hakimi

"My mother is a janitor and my father is a street vendor. They gave his life to me. They even gave up a lot of things from my brother for me to be successful. Today I played for them," Hakimi explained to Al-Jazeera as quoted by Sportbible.
Paul Pogba
Apart from Hakimi, the famous footballer who is known to be so close to his mother is Paul Pogba. The Juventus player who is also one of the best midfielders in the world often shows his togetherness with his mother.

Cristiano Ronaldo
