Anderlecht chief Fredberg plays down adding second Hazard brother

Anderlecht sporting director Jesper Fredberg denies they're moving for Eden Hazard.

The former Chelsea captain is a free agent after his release by Real Madrid.

Brother Thorgan has signed Anderlecht and Eden has also been linked. But Fredberg told Sporza: "This is not a deal where you get something in return.

"We are very happy to have got Thorgan, because we wanted him. Eden is free on the market, he has had a really good career, but it has to click.

"There has been no contact, and he is not a topic of conversation right now.

"I haven't called him and he hasn't called me."
