Eden Hazard wished good luck at Real Madrid
Eden Hazard’s Belgium team-mate Axel Witsel has wished him good luck should he move to Real Madrid.
The Blues ace is expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer for the Bernabeu.
Witsel said: “He's just Eden, as a player he's one of the best, with Cristiano [Ronaldo], [Lionel] Messi, Neymar and if he goes to Real Madrid and I hope so for him, he's going to show to everyone for sure.”
Hazard is currently on international duty with Belgium for Euro 2020 qualifiers against Kazakhstan and Scotland.

Arsenal still want Samuel Umtiti
Arsenal boss Unai Emery is keen to sign Barcelona ace Samuel Umtiti this summer.
The Gunners had a disappointing season last time out, missing out on the top four and losing the Europa League final against Chelsea.
Arsenal will now have to settle for Europe League football again next season, meaning they may struggle to attract top transfer targets.
And according to the Daily Star, Arsenal boss Emery is desperate to land Barcelona’s Umtiti this summer.
They say the France international tops Emery’s defensive wish list.
However, Umtiti, who is under contract until 2023, has told Barcelona he’s going nowhere.
The Star claim Umtiti has told the Spanish giants not to listen to offers for him.

Man Utd to be snubbed by Philippe Coutinho
Barcelona star Philippe Coutinho will snub Manchester United, according to reports.
The Brazilian could leave the Nou Camp this summer with several high-profile clubs interested in his signing.
But Coutinho will not move to United because of his history with Liverpool and the fact they did not qualify for the Champions League.
That’s according to Sport who claim the midfielder is more likely to move to Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

Liverpool join race for Matthijs de Ligt
Liverpool have joined the race to sign Ajax sensation Matthijs de Ligt.
The Dutch defender will likely leave Ajax this summer after a remarkable breakout season.
Manchester United and Barcelona are thought to be leading the race to sign the 19-year-old.
Italian giants Juventus have also been credited with interest in the defender, while Real Madrid could also be a possible destination.
However, according to German outlet Bild, Liverpool have entered the race to sign De Ligt.
They say De Ligt could be Jurgen Klopp’s ‘next triumph’ after securing the Champions League title.
