Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel re-signing Eden Hazard could be good news for Timo Werner

Eden Hazard was one of the best players in the world at Chelsea prior to his 2019 move to Real Madrid for £130million. Yet after a torrid time in the Spanish capital, the Belgian has been linked with his former side – which could spell good news for Timo Werner.

Hazard scored 110 goals in 352 games for the Blues, winning two Premier League titles, an FA Cup, a League Cup and also claiming two Europa League winner’s medals in his time at Stamford Bridge.

Cementing his name in Chelsea folklore for his mazy dribbling, playmaking and goal of the season contenders, the £32m signing from Lille decided to pack his bags after Real Madrid came calling.

Big things were expected of Hazard in Madrid but he has struggled to live up to the billing. With just five goals in 53 games for Los Blancos, Hazard is up for sale once more.

It remains to be seen whether a deal could be done for Hazard with the club still hot on the trails of Erling Haaland and Jules Kounde.

And a deal for Hazard could be brilliant for Werner as it would rule out a move for Haaland – effectively giving the German more game time for the Blues.

And with only substitute appearances this season, there is not much room for the German to improve on his poor tally.

Were Haaland to come in, he would only have less chances with the partnership the Norwegian would form with Lukaku.

But with fan favourite Hazard potentially returning, the German could have a more prosperous future at the Blues given Tuchel may still stick with a 3-4-2-1 set-up.
