Report: Arsenal make contact with Newcastle target Eden Hazard

Arsenal have initiated contact regarding a potential move for Eden Hazard, with Newcastle United also interested in the Belgium international, .

Hazard’s torrid spell with Real Madrid has continued this season. He has made 17 appearances in La Liga. However, he has not scored and only provided one assist.

That sums up his time in the Spanish capital. And it now appears that he could be offered the chance to return to the Premier League in the summer.

Newcastle are keen to sign the 31-year-old as they gear up for a massive window at St James’ Park. But it would seem that Arsenal have stolen a march in the race.

that the Gunners have already made contact regarding a potential move.

Perhaps surprisingly, Hazard wants to stay at the Bernabeu next year. He is determined to prove himself with Los Blancos after such a nightmare time with Real.

Arsenal moving for Eden Hazard could really go either way

Some Arsenal fans may hope that there is nothing in the links with a 31-year-old who has been incredibly poor since joining Real Madrid.

The Gunners have benefitted from signing younger players with a point to prove. Their older signings have often cost the club in recent years. Arsenal have certainly not moved forward by signing the likes of David Luiz and Willian in recent seasons.

Hazard however, left Chelsea back in 2019 having established himself as one of the world’s best players. Jamie Carragher labelled him an ‘‘.

He had a direct hand in 202 goals in 352 games for the Blues. And he could still have plenty more to give.

The last player Arsenal signed from Real Madrid proved to be a pretty good buy for the Gunners, after all.
