Chelsea line up Oxlade-Chamberlain as possible Hazard replacement

Chelsea could move for Arsenal’s Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain if they lose Eden Hazard in the summer, according to the Telegraph.

Hazard was named the 2014/15 PFA Player of the Year after helping the Blues to the Premier League title.

However, he has failed to reproduce such form this season with the twenty-five-year-old failing to score in twenty-seven outings in all competitions.

Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint Germain and Manchester United have both been linked with a move for the Belgium international though he is unlikely to make a decision on his future until he discovers who the Blues’ new permanent boss will be.

Should Hazard leave, Chelsea could swoop for Oxlade-Chamberlain who like Hazard is not having his best season.

The England winger has played twenty-four times for Arsene Wenger’s side this term but hasn’t scored since the Community Shield win over Chelsea back in August, where he grabbed the only goal of the game.
