Eden Hazard's transfer to Real Madrid is a move nine years in the making, as back in 2010, Zinedine Zidane recommended his signing from his advisory position to Real supremo Florentino Perez which was turned by the club president who was in the middle of his 'galactico 2.0' experiment with the likes of Kaka and Ronaldo..

The Frenchman had then referred to the Belgian as a star of the future and nine years on, his prophecy has come to pass, with the 28-year-old being one of the very best in the business.

Zinedine Zidane was thoroughly unimpressed with the state of the squad he inherited upon his return and it was a priority to get new players in and Eden Hazard was identified as the top target.

Good players make the job of any manager easier while genuine game changers practically take most of the job off their coach's hands. In terms of game-changing ability, there are not many players better than Eden Hazard and as such, Zinedine Zidane would be confident of reaching the pinnacle with Real Madrid once again.
