Arsenal linked with shock move for Eden Hazard?

Arsenal have been linked with a shock move for Real Madrid playmaker Eden Hazard, Fichajes claims.

The north London giants are likely to bolster their squad further this summer and the focus could be on marquee signings.

The priority could be on the forward department in particular, and Fichajes reports that Hazard has emerged on their radar.

The Gunners are prepared to offer an escape route to the former Chelsea star, who is deemed surplus to requirements at Madrid.

Hazard has managed to overcome his injury concerns this term, but manager Carlo Ancelotti does not consider him in his plans.

The La Liga giants could bolster their attack with Kylian Mbappe this summer, and this could urge Hazard to pursue a new challenge.

A return to the Premier League could entice him after seven seasons at Chelsea. The Gunners are in contact over a surprise loan deal.

The Gunners have changed their transfer policy with focus on young players with potential, but there is need for experienced faces for the right balance.
