The Belgian has agreed a five-year contract, subject to a medical, and will join Los Blancos after seven successful years at Chelsea. Hazard scored 110 goals in 352 games for the Blues and leaves a huge hole in their attack which will need to be replaced. However, a transfer ban is currently imposed on Chelsea meaning the west Londoners are unable to register any new players for the next two windows. Therefore contingency plans must be made – so what options do Chelsea have among their current crop of players to replace Hazard? The ban will prevent reinforcements from being signed, meaning whoever is Chelsea manager next season may be forced to juggle whatever resources remain to them.
