Shock report claims Arsenal ‘in discussions’ to sign Real Madrid superstar, this would be a huge shock
The Gunners have gotten off to an incredible start to the season, and they currently hold a five-point lead over the rest of the Premier League teams.
The squad managed by Mikel Arteta is eager to add some more attacking talent during the month of January as they look to strengthen their position at the top of the standings.
After having two bids totaling up to £62 million for Ukraine forward Mykhailo Mudryk turned down, Arsenal are currently in negotiations with Shakhtar Donetsk regarding the possible transfer of Mudryk.
However, due to Shakhtar Donetsk’s asking price of £88 million for the 22-year-old attacker, the leaders of the pack have also been linked with another attacking player: Chelsea legend Hazard.
According to MediaFoot report, Arsenal are considering making a move to acquire Eden Hazard from Real Madrid in the month of January.
According to the report, the Gunners have reportedly gotten in touch with Los Blancos in order to inquire about the possibility of signing the 32-year-old player.
In point of fact, it has been reported that the club in north London has considered the Belgian as an alternative to Mudryk.
Hazard was once considered to be one of the very best players in the world; his ability to dribble the ball while maintaining a low center of gravity frequently caused full-backs and opposing managers headaches. In point of fact, only Lionel Messi dribbled past more players throughout the entire decade of the 2010s in the top five leagues in Europe.
Additionally, he was frequently the deciding factor in important games for both the Blues and Belgium. During his time with Chelsea, Eden Hazard scored approximately 110 goals and contributed 92 assists from the left flank. He made 352 appearances for the club.
Since then, Hazard has made 73 appearances for Real Madrid but has only scored seven goals for the club.
Since his move to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu in 2019 for a fee of 89 million pounds, he has had trouble getting into form and staying fit. This season, the former Belgium international has started just one game in La Liga and has appeared in two additional games as a substitute.
Because of his waning powers and his advanced age, any move by Arsenal to acquire the player would come as a significant surprise to the football community. Arteta and Edu Gaspar, who serves as the sporting director, have constructed the current team with up-and-coming talent rather than seasoned veterans.
