Chelsea boss Mourinho blasts Wilmots over Hazard Real Madrid claims
West Brom manager Tony Pulis claims his prized striking asset Saido Berahino is still overweight as an outcome of his failed move to Tottenham in the summer transfer window.
If speculations of Cristiano Ronaldo leaving the Bernabéu this January or next season will come true, then expect Hazard to walk away from England and become the latest Galactico signing for Real team president Florentino Pérez soon. See all the summer deals here.
Speaking of Hazard’s form, it has been off this year for Chelsea.
Hazard has yet to score in the Premier League this season and has played like a shell of his former self, earning a spot on the bench in several recent fixtures and a numerous calling-outs from his embattled manager.
The Blues have accumulated a meagre total of just 11 points from their opening 10 points to sit mired in the bottom half of the table, with incumbent boss Jose Mourinho recently dropping Hazard from Chelsea’s starting XI.
Eyebrows raised the world over a few days ago when Chelsea star Eden Hazard “liked” a social media post that linked him with a move to Real Madrid.
Uefa is yet to determine whether Mourinho’s comments could be deemed as improper conduct under its guidelines, though the manager believes he would be on safe ground whenever he makes the same assessment of a referee in the Premier League. Busy times lie ahead for Daniel Levy and Spurs, it seems.
And it has again been suggested, this time by the Daily Star Sunday, that Chelsea and Manchester United are vying for the signing of Red Star Belgrade’s Serbia midfielder Marko Grujic.
Lionel Messi has refused to rule out an eventual move to the Premier League.
Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is set to have crunch talks with Mario Balotelli’s agent Mino Raiola. I can say only that I try always to give my best.
