Chelsea fans have had to deal with persistent rumours about the future of Eden Hazard over the last year and we tend to think that there is seldom smoke without fire in terms of the football transfer market.
Hazrd’s future may, of course, depend on who Chelsea bring in to manage the club in the summer.
But he will continue to be linked with big moves until then.
And, if he does move on, his replacement could be the sublime Antoine Griezmann according to The Daily Mail:
Chelsea plan move for £60m Atletico Madrid star Antoine Griezmann to replace Eden Hazard if Belgian pushes for Real or PSG
Griezmann is a wonderful player and we strongly suspect that he will be regarded as one of the top 5 fooballers in the world over the next 12 months.
He’s quick, direct, scores regularly, creates for others and has a football brain. He’s the similar sort of all-rounder as Kevin de Bruyne was at Wolfsburg last season – a prolific scorer and creator.
Atletico is not a club which needs to sell its best players. It is challenging for La Liga title again this season under the remarkable management of Diego Simeone.
But he would undoubtedly be a top-drawer addition for Chelsea and they may even go for the Frenchman and keep the Belgian too. Now there is a prospect to make the mouth water.
Let’s take a look at Griezmann in action.
Chelsea fans: a no-brainer?
