Borussia Dortmund emerge as contenders for Eden Hazard

Borussia Dortmund have emerged as strong contenders to sign former Chelsea star Eden Hazard this summer.

The Belgian has struggled over the past two-and-a-half years at Real Madrid, where he has made just 65 appearances.

Injuries have played a big part, but he is no longer regarded as a regular starter when fit and available for selection.

According to Cadena SER, Dortmund could look to land Hazard on a season-long loan when the transfer window reopens.

Dortmund have an excellent working relationship with Real Madrid, and this could give them the edge in Hazard's pursuit.

Hazard has not given up on succeeding at Madrid, but his stance may change if the club bolster their attack further this summer.

There has been frequent talk about Kylian Mbappe arriving on a free transfer which may further hamper Hazard's playing time.

Dortmund will offer him a fresh challenge in Bundesliga. Elsewhere, it has been claimed that Arsenal could lure him back to England.

The north London giants are likely to make a season-long loan approach with an option to buy if the attacker meets specific targets.
