The Chelsea winger is in line to be named the Premier League Player of the Year this summer after another fine campaign at Stamford Bridge.
And the 24-year-old, who has been on the radar of French giants Paris Saint Germain, now appears to be attracting interest from Real Madrid.
Zidane, who was a club legend during his playing days, is now a coach at the club, and has admitted that he is a huge fan of the Belgian, and often keeps tabs on him in the same way he does with players like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
“There are players I keep an eye on and who I like a lot, like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, of course. They’re fantastic players, but I like Eden Hazard a lot too,” he said.
“I enjoy everything he does on the pitch. I like the way he carries himself, that decisive streak in him and the fact that he’s improving every year. He can still get better too.
“I think he’s a big reason why Chelsea are on top of the table.”
However, having only recently penned a five-year deal to extend his stay in west London, his signature won’t be easy to come by.
