Over the last few years, this is a transfer rumour that hasn't died down despite Hazard himself claiming numerous times that he deosn't want to leave London. Although, with his recent criticisms of Chelsea's failing tactics, where he hasn't seen much of the ball, this summer could be the one which sees him joining Real Madrid.

There is no doubt that the former Lille winger is of the sublime quality required to play for the 12 time Champions League winners. Talk of Gareth Bale leaving Spain has only added fuel to the fire of the Hazard speculation and could open up space for the Belgian star alongside Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema.

Chelsea have struggled in the Premier League this term but their stand-out player has been superb and will have played a huge part if they can somehow turn it around to make the top four. If the Blues miss out on Europe's elite competition for next season, Eden Hazard is expected to leave Stamford Bridge and Madrid is his most likely destination.

He has eight 'Man of the Match' awards in his 21 league appearances this season as well as 11 goals and 3 assists, a great return for a wideman in a largely failing team. If it wasn't for the exceptional form of Kevin De Bruyne and Mo Salah, Hazard would be in the running for the PFA Player of the Year award.
