Tottenham Hotspur stars are wanted by Real Madrid, but so is Chelsea’s Eden Hazard.
Tottenham Hotspur’s recent win over Real Madrid has only intensified the desire of the La Liga giants to sign the North London club’s star men.
Fortunately for Tottenham they have both players under long-term contracts, and chairman Daniel Levy is reluctant to sell to Real again after losing Luka Modric and Gareth Bale.
Their refusal to sell will lead Real to look for alternatives, and this could be bad news for Tottenham’s Premier League rivals Chelsea.
Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard is beginning to attract the attention of Real once again after his return to form, and unlike Tottenham’s players, he is actively encouraging it.
In an interview for RTL he praised Real Madrid’s manager, commenting: ” Everyone knows the respect I have for Zidane as a player, but also as a coach.
“He was my idol. I do not know what will happen in my career in the future, but it would be a dream to play for Zidane.”
He backtracked slightly by suggesting he remains committed to Chelsea, but he can’t take his public Real admiration back.
Real are unlikely to be able to pull off a deal for players from both Tottenham and Chelsea, and Hazard may be easier for them to buy.
If Spurs can stand firm, the added benefit is that the result could be one of their rivals weakening.
