Transfer gossip: Speculation over the futures of Remy and Hazard

By

A round-up of the latest transfer speculation involving Chelsea…

Loic Remy is in line for a return to Newcastle, the Shields Gazette believe.

Aston Villa are keen to sign Remy and he has also been linked with the Magpies and Crystal Palace.

The Sun and the Daily Mail say Chelsea are reluctant to let Remy, who spent a season on loan at Newcastle prior to joining the Blues from QPR, leave during this month’s transfer window.

But the Shields Gazette say Chelsea are willing to allow the French striker to go on loan.

Meanwhile, comments by new Real Madrid head coach Zinedine Zidane have led to more speculation that they could table a big-money offer for Chelsea’s Eden Hazard.

Zidane is quoted as saying: “After Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Hazard is my favourite player. It is spectacular to see him play.

“Do I see him going to Real Madrid? I love the player, that’s all I will say.”

The Daily Star therefore declare that Real are ready to launch a £100m bid for Hazard, while the Daily Mirror suggest this could lead to Chelsea signing Gareth Bale from the Spanish club.
