Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has allegedly told teammate Alvaro Morata to expect the signing of Marco Asensio from Real Madrid in the summer.
Overhaul expected at Chelsea next term
The Blues are set to overhaul their team when the season ends with the side currently misfiring under Italian tactician Antonio Conte and in severe need of a revamp.
Last night’s disappointing 3-0 loss to AFC Bournemouth was horrific, with the Chelsea team put to the sword by their League counterparts in front of their home fans at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard take up scouting role
And Spanish publication Diario Gol suggest that Eden Hazard is in the know of one transfer set to be completed come the conclusion of the current league season.
The Belgium international attacker has allegedly informed first choice striker Morata that Asensio is likely to join the West London club.
The Real Madrid attacker has endured a frustrating season the Santiago Bernabeu this season.
The Spain international was in fine form at the beginning of the season, netting two good goals in consecutive victories over FC Barcelona.
But unfortunately, things have gone wrong since with the playmaker now on the fringes of the squad.
Swap deal expected next season
And Diario Gol say the Belgian thinks Asensio will be playing alongside Spain international striker Alvaro Morata next season.
The Spaniard will supposedly join Chelsea as part of a transfer deal that will see Eden Hazard move the other way.
