No European giant has spent less on transfers than Real Madrid

The Belgium international has once again been one of the Blues’ standout performers so far this campaign, scoring nine goals and contributing four assists in all competitions.

Chelsea have so far been unsuccessful in their attempt to tie him down to fresh terms at Stamford Bridge with the 27-year-old understood to have rejected two offers.

Hazard, whose current deal runs out in 2020, recently gave supporters hope that he could sign a new deal after saying he was waiting for goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois to put pen to paper first.
