Benitez pushes Real Madrid to test Chelsea resolve for Hazard AND Diego Costa

New Real Madrid coach Rafa Benitez is targeting Chelsea pair Diego Costa and Eden Hazard. The Sunday Telegraph says both players are on Benitez's radar after the Spaniard took over at the Bernabeu last week and sees the pair as a key way to freshen up his attack and mount a strong challenge to Barcelona's domestic and European dominance this season.

Hazard has been linked with a move to Real since the turn of the year, with Jose Mourinho insisting recently that the player was happy at Stamford Bridge after penning a long-term deal to stay at the club.

There's also suggestions Costa is keen on a move back to Spain, where he previously played for Atletico Madrid.
