Benzema: Hazard would be a good signing for Real Madrid

Karim Benzema has backed Eden Hazard’s potential move to Real Madrid by saying the Chelsea star would be a good signing for the European champions.

Hazard has reportedly emerged as a target for Madrid as he continues to star for Premier League leaders Chelsea this season.

“[Hazard] is a very good player, what can I say?” Benzema told Telefoot.

“I have not seen the rumours, but it’s obvious that he would be a good signing.”

Benzema’s Madrid are top of LaLiga following their come-from-behind 3-2 win at Sporting Gijon on Saturday.
