Wilshere: Hazard would love playing for Howe at Newcastle

Former Arsenal star Jack Wilshere is convinced Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard would be happy to join Newcastle United.

Wilshere worked with new Toon manager Eddie Howe during his season-long loan spell at Bournemouth five years ago.

Speaking to talkSPORT, he said: “He [Howe] was great with me, because it was tough for me there because I was coming from a big club [Arsenal].

"I stepped into a group that had been together since they were in League One, they were all friends.

“They were all great with me, but Eddie made sure they were. He was great with me.

Eden Hazard is another level, but I think Eden would love playing for a manager like Eddie Howe [at Newcastle]. He's the type of manager you want to play for."
