Eden Hazard was one of the many players highly linked with Real Madrid during the summer months after the departure of Cristiano to Juventus. The player was open to the move to the Spanish capital during the World Cup and this was something he recognised speaking to BT Sport after today's Premier League clash against Liverpool.

"I'll tell you the truth, after the World Cup I was keen to move as my dream is to play one day in Spain" affirmed the Belgian. However after a dazzling start for "The Blues" he now has no regrets on staying in London SW6: "I spoke to both club and coach and told them that I'd stay and looking back it was the correct decision as I'm extremely happy now. "I've two years left on my current deal and I may sign an extension, I'm not sure" he added.
