The Belgian scored 4 times and provided a further 5 assists across all competitions for Chelsea in the month of December. He is being increasingly linked with Real Madrid. However, such high-profile business is unlikely to happen in January but thanks to his performances, Los Blancos will have no second thoughts about making a move for him in the summer.
