CHELSEA CAN USE HAZARD TO GET BALE

-

CHelSeA must be concerned that eden Hazard has not signed a contract extension, despite them apparently being prepared to pay him £300,000 per week. Take Hazard out of that team and there is no way they would be able to match Manchester City, Manchester united or even Tottenham next season. Chelsea have to play this one carefully. We hear a lot about how real Madrid are sniffing around Hazard and that is only natural for a player who, in my opinion, has been one of the Premier league’s alltime greats. Zinedine Zidane has openly admitted how highly he rates him too. Sometimes you just have to face the facts and Chelsea may soon have to accept that if Hazard does not want to sign a new contract, then he won’t. Should he leave for real this summer, they would need a new A-lister, and negotiatin­g a swap for Gareth Bale would be a great solution for Chelsea. every summer there seems to be talk of a big-money return to england for the Welshman and Bale, now 28, would be a perfect fit for Chelsea. He is a big name and someone who already knows the Premier league. Jose Mourinho’s Manchester united would no doubt be in the mix too but if Chelsea can play a clever game with real and Hazard this summer, then they can make it work in their favour.
