Eden Hazard’s move to Real Madrid was completed on Friday, with the Chelsea superstar joining the Spanish giants for a fee which could rise to £150m.

During his time in West London Hazard won two Premier League titles as well an FA Cup, League Cup and two Europa Leagues.
Crowned PFA and FWA Footballer of the Year awards in 2014/15 he leaves Chelsea having scored 110 goals in 352 appearances.

Whilst some think Real Madrid have got a steal…
Real Madrid sold Alvaro Morata to Chelsea for £60m in 2017, and then 2 years later they bought Eden Hazard off them for £88.5m. Don Florentino Pérez.
