Zidane tells Real Madrid: Forget Courtois. Buy me Hazard!

Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane has told president Florentino Perez to pull out all stops for Eden Hazard's signing.

Zidane has long admired the Chelsea star and OK Diario says he feels this year is the perfect time to bring the Belgian to Madrid.

And he has told his president to make Hazard's arrival the top priority for 2017's transfer policy.

Indeed, the Frenchman has told Perez that he'd rather do business with Chelsea over Hazard than goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.

Zidane believes he can still get Keylor Navas back to his best and focusing on signing Hazard ahead of Chelsea teammate Courtois makes better sense.
