Eden Hazard to Real Madrid: Chelsea odds tumble as Arsenal are linked with Karim Benzema
REAL MADRID have seen their chances of signing Eden Hazard signing from Chelsea skyrocket, according to the latest bookmakers odds.
Chelsea star Eden Hazard is wanted at Real Madrid
Real Madrid want to sign Hazard and the Chelsea playmaker has previously spoken about a possible move.
He and team-mate Thibaut Courtois have been on Real’s radar for some time.
And now bookmakers Coral have narrowed Hazard’s price on joining Real from 5-2 to 7-4.
The change, it seems, comes as Antonio Conte’s future at Chelsea looks increasingly uncertain.
Many bookies have closed their markets on Conte leaving the club.

Karim Benzema could be axed from the Real Madrid side, with Arsenal linked
Any move for Hazard would likely cost Real big money, with the 27-year-old under contract at Chelsea until 2020.
Real are also said to be eying Tottenham’s Harry Kane, while Antoine Griezmann is supposedly an option.
Hazard joining Real would pose a selection dilemma for manager Zinedine Zidane unless he offloads one of his star forwards.
And Coral reckon Karim Benzema could be headed to Arsenal.
The Gunners have been linked with Benzema for years and, while they have signed two centre-forwards in the past seven months, the Frenchman is 5-1 to join Arsenal in the summer.
Arsenal are supposedly battling with PSG to land the exiled France international, while Chelsea are 12-1 outsiders to make a move.
