Chelsea: Eden Hazard reveals his favourite footballer player ever
Chelsea star Hazard wants to quit the west London giants for a fresh challenge at Real Madrid when the transfer window reopens at the end of the campaign.
The Belgium international has been plying his trade at Stamford Bridge ever since 2013, when he joined from Lille.
But, with Chelsea failing to challenge for the Premier League title, Hazard is keen to leave them behind.
The 27-year-old is dreaming of a move to Real Madrid and would jump at the chance to play under childhood hero Zinedine Zidane.

Meanwhile, Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness has opened up on Hazard after Chelsea’s 2-0 defeat to Everton on Sunday.
“There are difficult times ahead I think for them [Chelsea],” he said.
“[Roman] Abramovich has been there 16 years, [they’ve won] 15 trophies.
“I don’t think they’re going to be winning trophies in the immediate future.

“If you’re Hazard, one of the best footballers in the world, he’ll be looking at the situation very closely and thinking ‘I’m now arguably at the peak of my career, in the next two or three years i’ll be at my best, I want to be winning the big trophies, I want to win the Champions League.’
“Will that happen at Chelsea? No I don’t think so.
“It looks as if they’re going to struggle for the top four this year to qualify next year.
“Hazard’s contract is running low, he’s only got another year to go after this one so Chelsea have a big decision to make.
“Do you cash in or does he walk in 15 months time?”
