Real Madrid news: Chelsea star Eden Hazard and two team-mates eyed by Zinedine Zidane
CHELSEA winger Eden Hazard is reportedly one of three Blues stars being eyed up by Zinedine Zidane as the Frenchman looks to strengthen his Real Madrid squad.

Hazard was touted as one of the world’s brightest prospects after making his name in Ligue 1 with Lille.
And he’s delivered on that promise since joining Chelsea in 2012, helping the west Londoners win two Premier League titles.
Hazard was touted as a top Real transfer target over the summer with only an ankle injury preventing them from swooping for him.
The latest reports from Spain suggest Zidane is still interested in getting the 26-year-old on-board - with two of his Chelsea team-mates on his radar too.
According to Don Balon, Hazard is the man in the frame to become Real’s latest Galactico signing.
And that position has been strengthened by his willingness to publicly discuss a potential Bernabeu switch.
Real are apparently keeping tabs on two other Chelsea players - Thibaut Courtois and Cesar Azpilicueta.

Courtois would be brought in alongside Kepa Arrizabalaga to vie for the No 1 spot in Madrid.
Azpilicueta, meanwhile, is seen as a deputy to Dani Carvajal at right-back with Achraf Hakimi not fully convincing Zidane he’s ready to step up.
Hazard, Courtois and Azpilicueta are all but guaranteed starters on a weekly basis at Stamford Bridge though.
And Chelsea would resist any attempt to prise any of them away.
