Everton want Chelsea’s Hazard this summer
Everton are lining up a move for Chelsea youngster Thorgan Hazard as a replacement for their on-loan Barca star Gerard Deulofeu, who looks destined to stay in Spain according to the Daily Express.
Hazard was voted the Belgian league player of the season after spending two seasons on loan at Zulte Waregem and has scored 16 goals this season while assisting 20 for his team mates.
Hazard was recently at the centre of a storm involving Belgium team mate Kevin Mirallas, after Mirallas hit out at Adnan Januzaj’s inclusion in the Belgium squad over Thorgan Hazard.
Thorgan is the brother of Chelsea star Eden Hazard and has recently expressed his wish for regular football in the Premier League.
Deulofeu has recently said that he would like to return to Barcelona and fight for a first team place
He said: “I would like to return to Barca and this is my first option.
“I feel very happy with the season I have had at Everton and have great respect for Barcelona. I also know I have to wait until the end of the season and then we will see what happens.
“Now I have had a year on loan at Everton I am waiting to be told something. Nobody has said anything to me.”

I thought this was Eden and I was wondering if we’d been bought by a billionaire… thanks for getting my hopes up. 🙁
However, I would like to see him at Everton.
