Chelsea star man laughs off Real Madrid links

 

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has batted aside reports linking him with a summer switch to Real Madrid. 

 

The Belgium international has been heavily linked with a move to the La Liga giants, with Real Madrid making the attacker their number one target. 

 

The 26-year-old has been in flying form for the Premier League leaders this term, with his WhoScored rating (7.88) better than any other player in England’s top tier.

However, Hazard has talked down speculation suggesting he will move to the Bernabeu when the transfer window opens at the end of the campaign. 

 

When asked if he is interested in a move to the Bernabeu, Hazard is quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph: “You want to get me in trouble (with this question)? No, I'm fine at Chelsea. I have things to finish this year. I still have a contract until 2020. So I'm fine here.” 

 

Chelsea’s title charge took a hit at the weekend after the Blues were defeated 2-1 by Crystal Palace, with their lead at the top cut to seven points as a result.
