Spanish expert: Real Madrid want Hazard and Kane

Spanish expert Guillem Balague believes Real Madrid will move for Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard in the summer.

Tottenham striker Harry Kane is also a target for the Spanish crisis club.

“It's no secret that they need a new goal scorer," Balague told Sky Sports.

“This time last season, Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Karim Benzema had scored 20 La Liga goals between them.

“But this time around, they have only scored 10. None of them have managed more than four goals in the league!

"So who's on the wanted list? Eden Hazard is a top target and the club is interested in Harry Kane even though they are very aware that his emotional link to Spurs and to his manager, Mauricio Pochettino, plus the fact that Ronaldo does not want a similar striker next to him, make the move unlikely.

“But those two candidates are logically only considered for the summer."
