Eden Hazard: Happy to stay at Chelsea

Out-of-favour Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has reportedly agreed a £32million move to Spanish giants Real Madrid. 

Hazard has been heavily criticised for his performances this season, and has failed to score in the Premier League since April 2015.

The 25-year-old has been a shadow of the player who was crowned PFA Player of the Year last season, guiding the Blues to the Premier League title.

With Chelsea set to miss out on Champions League football next season, Hazard has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.

Reports last week suggested that incoming Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has lost faith in the Belgian international, and is willing to let him leave the club.

And according to Spanish outlet OK Diario, Real Madrid have won the race for Hazard’s signature.

Reports suggest Hazard has agreed personal terms ahead of a summer switch to the Bernabeu, with manager Zinedine Zidane said to be a big fan.
