Zinedine Zidane wants to sign Premier League star

We already knew Zinedine Zidane was a huge admirer of Eden Hazard - so, it was only a matter of time before one of the big newspapers linked the newly-appointed Real Madrid boss with a move for the out-of-sorts Chelsea winger.


The Sun are the first to claim that Zidane has made Hazard his number one transfer target after replacing Rafael Benitez at the Bernabeu this week.

They go on to state that Zidane is so keen to finance a world-record £100 million deal for the Belgium international that he is prepared to let Gareth Bale complete a move to Manchester United.

Bale is reportedly considering his future at the Bernabeu after Benitez was sacked on Monday - per The Times - and United are keen to bring the Welshman back to the Premier League.


However, Florentino Perez was the man who sanctioned the record-breaking deal for Bale in the summer of 2013 and the Blancos president will be determined to keep the former Tottenham star - who many still regard as Cristiano Ronaldo’s natural heir - in Madrid.
