​Mpenza: Hazard should swap Chelsea for Real Madrid

Former Belgian striker Emile Mpenza wants his countryman Eden Hazard to go to Real Madrid.

Hazard has been flirting with Real since the end of the World Cup, when he indicated that he may want to leave Chelsea.

And he has yet to sign a new deal, prompting speculation he will be sold in the summer. Mpenza feels it would be the right move for Hazard.

"I think he wrote a page in Chelsea's history book and now he has to try to go somewhere else," Mpenza told Omnisport.

"A player always wants to move to another team to improve. Real Madrid won three Champions Leagues [in a row], and Hazard hasn't won it with Chelsea.

"If he wants to improve, he can go to Madrid to become stronger."
