With multiple reports appearing to confirm Real Madrid's desire to sell Eden Hazard as soon as possible, it seems a Premier League club are planning an offer for his services.
Ancelotti Criticises His Team After First Loss Of LaLiga Season
The 31-year-old attacker's Real career is on course to end sooner rather than later, with the Spanish champions keen on selling their club-record signing this coming January. Since arriving at the Santiago Bernabeu, Hazard has been plagued by inconsistent form, a consequence of his fitness issues.
According to The Daily Star, the Belgium international now wants to return to the country where he established himself as a world-class talent, England. Aston Villa have reportedly been interested in acquiring his services, but it is Newcastle United who are said to be leading the race for his signature.
The same report suggests that Hazard has already told club and national team teammate Thibaut Courtois about his wish to leave Madrid after the 2022 FIFA World Cup, and will be hoping his exploits in Qatar mark the beginning of his redemption arc.
Since arriving at Real, the former Chelsea man has missed as many games for Los Merengues through injury, 72, as he has played for the record European champions but it seems that the Geordie side are willing to take the risk on the 2015 PFA Player of the Year.

The St. James Park faithful have seen their side make a rapid resurgence in the Premier League, as within a year, Eddie Howe's men have gone from battling relegation to competing for European football.
Newcastle have already signed big names, with the likes of Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak the first couple of arrivals of what is soon bound to become a star-studded squad. Hazard's arrival would prove to be a massive signal of intent for the Saudi-owned club's ambitions and will likely help the Black and Whites maintain their charge for UEFA Champions League football in 2023.
