Eden Hazard has put Real Madrid on red alert after revealing it would be a dream to work under Zinedine Zidane.
The Belgium international has been heavily linked with a move to Madrid in the last few years after establishing himself as one of the best players in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old is still committed to Chelsea, but could not help himself but lavish more praise on the man he idolised as a child.
“Everyone knows the respect I have for the man,” Hazard told RTL during the international break. “For the player he was and for the coach he is, he was my idol.
“Of course I don’t know what will happen in my career in the future, but to play under him would be a dream.
“At this time, though, I’m happy at Chelsea. I still have a lot of things to do at Chelsea, and I’m focused on Chelsea.”
Given Madrid’s early season struggles, it would not be a surprise if the reigning European champions went out and made some big signings next summer to revitalise their offensive options.
After missing out on a Galactico signing this summer, Florentino Perez will almost certainly look to make a statement at the end of the season and Hazard will almost certainly come into the equation if he has a good campaign.
In the last four Premier League campaigns, Hazard has won at least four more WhoScored Man of the Match awards than any other player (30).
