Aston Villa urged to move for wantaway Real Madrid attacker Hazard

Dutch pundit Johan Boskamp says Aston Villa should move for Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard.

Hazard, according to Belgian media sources, is ready to leave Madrid after losing confidence in the club's medical staff and his place in coach Carlo Ancelotti's plans.

Boskamp believes a departure is the right call for Hazard given it is a World Cup year.

"I really hope he changes clubs this winter," Boskamp told Het Nieuwsblad.

"If he leaves, he may still be able to play 25 games in the coming months. Because if he stays at Real, I don't think he will play much more football this season."

A return to Chelsea seems unlikely as Boskamp believes Hazard would not fit in Thomas Tuchel's system.

"They can also loan Eden to Aston Villa or something. Anyway, he just has to play. That's the most important thing," he added.
