Favre: 'Mbappe, Hazard my dream signings'

Lucien Favre reveals that Kylian Mbappe and Eden Hazard would top his transfer wishlist if funds were unlimited at Borussia Dortmund.

Borussia Dortmund manager Lucien Favre has named Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe and Chelsea ace Eden Hazard as his 'dream signings'.

The Bundesliga club have added the likes of Axel Witsel, Achraf Hakimi, Thomas Delaney and Abdou Diallo to their ranks since Favre replaced Peter Stoger at the Westfalenstadion.

Questioned by Sport Bild on who he would bring in if funds were unlimited, though, the former Nice boss picked out French World Cup star Mbappe and mercurial talent Hazard as his ideal picks.

"Kylian Mbappe and Eden Hazard," he said, before adding: "This is just for fun!

"Mbappe is unbelievable. He is 19 yet so mature and so clever. He makes the difference with his intelligence, playing for the team, and is fast.

"And if Hazard has the ball - ooh la la - he is so strong. It's a pleasure to watch him."

Hazard is understood to be a big-money target for European champions Real Madrid, while Mbappe completed a permanent transfer to PSG this summer after a season on loan.
