Arsenal are facing a transfer showdown with Real Madrid for Lille star Eden Hazard. The Mirror says Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has zeroed in on Hazard as his number one transfer target after having an attempt to sign the Belgian forward turned down in the summer.

But Real Madrid director of football Zinedine Zidane has also put Hazard at the top of his hit-list - and is going all out to convince him to move to the Bernabeu next summer.

Wenger, who has tracked Hazard for two years, had an enquiry knocked back for him this summer but is hoping to approach Lille again.
