Arsenal have reportedly made an enquiry over the availability of Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard.
The 31-year-old has endured another frustrating season in the Spanish capital, and speculation is rife surrounding a possible exit ahead of the 2022-23 season.
A return to Chelsea was mooted before the Blues were banned from signing players following sanctions on owner Roman Abramovich, and he is also thought to be on the radar of Newcastle United.
Now, Foot Mercato - via Get French Football News - claims that Arsenal have now joined the race and have submitted an enquiry, but they are yet to follow up on their initial approach.
The report adds that Hazard currently has no plans to leave the Santiago Bernabeu, but the potential acquisitions of Erling Braut Haaland and Kylian Mbappe could lead him to reconsider his future if he is pushed further down the pecking order.
Hazard has six goals and 10 assists to his name from 65 games in a Real Madrid shirt and is not due to become a free agent until the summer of 2024.
