Real Madrid 'to complete Hazard deal in coming hours'

Real Madrid are reportedly on the verge of securing the signing of Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard.

Last week, it was claimed that Los Blancos had agreed a £115m deal with Chelsea for the transfer of the Belgium international.

Madrid president Florentino Perez recently confirmed that his club were interested in signing Hazard in this summer's transfer window.

According to Marca, talks between the two clubs are now at an advanced stage and Madrid are on the verge of agreeing a deal to sign the attacker, with an announcement to follow later this week.

The 28-year-old scored twice as Chelsea recorded a 4-1 win over Arsenal in the Europa League final and seemingly confirmed after the match that he would be leaving Stamford Bridge this summer.

Hazard, who is expected to take the number seven shirt upon his arrival at the Bernabeu, has scored 110 times in 352 appearances for his English club since a 2012 switch from Lille.
