Deal Close! Two European clubs join queue for ex-Chelsea striker

Two European clubs have joined the queue of sides keen on a move for in-form for Borussia Moenchengladbach forward Thorgan Hazard ahead of the January transfer market.

Italian media outlet Calciomercato claim that AS Roma and Atletico Madrid want to sign the 25-year-old.

Thorgan Hazard is the younger brother of Chelsea talisman Eden Hazard.

Both players were together at Chelsea between 2012 and 2014 before Thorgan Hazard initially joined Borussia Moenchengladbach on loan.

The Belgian international player went on to make the loan deal permanent in 2015 and he has grown to become an integral part of the Borussia Moenchengladbach team since his transfer from Chelsea.
