Chelsea news: Sergio Aguero swap eyed if Man City bid for Eden Hazard
CHELSEA are determined to ensure Eden Hazard's potential departure does not leave them short of world-class attacking options.
Eden Hazard has recently been linked with Manchester City
The Belgian has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid in recent months.
But more recently, Man City have reportedly joined the race for Hazard's signature.
The Chelsea star has insisted he is prepared to sign a new contract with the west London outfit.
However, it appears the Blues may look to offload Hazard in return for an equally valuable asset.
According to the Daily Star, Chelsea want Sergio Aguero included as part of any Man City deal for their star man.

Aguero has netted 13 goals in his last 10 outings in all competitions
The Argentinian's own future is unclear at present.
Aguero has been dropped by City chief Pep Guardiola on numerous occasions this season.
But the club's record scorer has been in inspired form since his team-mate's injury.
Aguero has netted 13 goals in his last 10 outings in all competitions.
But any Hazard approach from City is likely to be rejected, however.
The Daily Star report Chelsea would only consider selling the winger if he asks to leave.
Hazard's Stamford Bridge team-mate and fellow countryman Thibaut Courtois is another player to be linked with a move away from the club.
The Belgian is also yet to sign a new contract at Chelsea.
