Chelsea count on 'matching right' clause to sign Gladbach ace Thorgan Hazard

Chelsea have an option to buy Thorgan Hazard back from Borussia Monchengladbach.

BILD says Chelsea have a 'Matching Right' clause in the midfielder's deal, meaning they can sign the Belgian should they match any rival offer.

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is eager to bring Hazard back to Stamford Bridge, where brothers Eden and Kylian are both on the books.

Thorgan, 24, signed for Gladbach in 2015 for €8m.

Just yesterday, Conte stated on this month's market: "I am very happy to work with my players and I am delighted with their attitude. If there is an opportunity to improve the team, the club will do it."
