Arsenal and Manchester United are being forced into action as Real Madrid push for Lille wonderkid Eden Hazard.
The Mail on Sunday says the Spanish club have intensified their efforts to sign a player who is being tracked regularly by scouts from United and Arsenal.
Hazard was voted 'Best Young Hope' in the French league last season after completing 34 games for Lille and scoring four goals while still just 17, also making his full debut for Belgium.
