I’m Not Considering Leaving Chelsea – Hazard

I’m Not Considering Leaving Chelsea – Hazard

Adeboye   16:00:00   No comments:

Belgian international and Chelsea forward, Eden Hazard has dismissed rumours that he has agreed to join Real Madrid.

Reports in Spain this week suggested that the former Lile star will swap Stamford Bridge for the Santiago Bernabeu at the end of the season.

However, the 2014 PFA Player of the Year, who is currently sidelined with a hip injury, insists this is not the case – although he did not completely rule out a move away from west London.

Speaking with ACTV in his homeland, Hazard said: “I don’t know who is saying that, but it’s not true. At the moment, I’m at Chelsea.

“First I have to finish the season and I still have a contract for four years. I’m there and I’m currently feeling good over there. I want to be on the pitch as soon as possible – with Chelsea.”

In line with Chelsea’s terrible experience this season, Hazard has suffered a remarkable drop off in form.

The 25-year-old was awarded both the PFA Player of the Year and Football Writers’ Footballer of the Year for his leading role in Chelsea’s Premier League title win in 2014 -15.

But the Belgian has failed to score in 26 top-flight appearances this term with his club languishing in 10th place with six games remaining.

Real Madrid Agree €40m Transfer For Hazard

Real Madrid Agree €40m Transfer For Hazard

Real Madrid have agreed a €40 million [£32m] deal to sign Eden Hazard from Chelsea, according to El Chiringuito de Jugones.

Spanish journalist Eduardo Inda claimed on the programme that the Belgium international is Zinedine Zidane’s priority target and Madrid have already reached an agreement with both the club and the player over a summer transfer.

Hazard was signed for £32 million from Lille in 2012 and was the star man in Chelsea’s title-winning campaign last year.

However, the 25-year-old has been one of Chelsea’s major under-performers this season with no goals and three assists in 26 Premier League appearances so far.

It’s also claimed that Isco and James Rodriguez are among the high-profile players who could leave Madrid this summer if their form does not improve from now until the end of the season.
