  • Eden Hazard has laughed off suggestions that he has already agreed a deal to move to Real Madrid in the summer.

    The Chelsea and Belgium star was talking after helping his nation to a 3-1 victory over Russia in their opening Euro 2020 qualifier, scoring twice.

    Russia had equalised following Youri Tielemans’ opener after a howler from Red Devils keeper Thibaut Courtois before Hazard rode to the rescue.

    He was brought down in the box by Yuri Zhirkov then converted his own penalty, and sealed the points with a smart finish shortly before full-time.

    However, journalists quizzed him over reports he has verbally agreed a five-year contract in the Spanish capital, having recently spoken to Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane.

    But the 28-year-old shot down the speculation, saying ‘nothing is there’ when asked if a deal had been reached.

    Watch Hazard’s complete thoughts following the match against Russia in the video above.
