Arsenal have been linked with a surprise move for former Chelsea star Eden Hazard.
The Belgian international joined Real Madrid from Chelsea in the summer of 2019 in a deal worth £119 million, but the move has not worked out as planned, mainly because Hazard has struggled to stay fit during his time in Spain.
He has scored just one goal and two assists in 22 appearances this season and, although his preference is to stay and fight for his place, he needs to make a decision about his future.
He has previously been linked with a return to Stamford Bridge, but given the uncertainty surrounding that club at the moment, he may be open to exploring other options.
He is under contract at the Bernabeu until 2024, but with the World Cup coming up later this year, knows he needs to be playing regular football if he wants to make the Belgium squad.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
