Chelsea tipped to replace Eden Hazard with Roberto Pereyra

Watford winger Roberto Pereyra has been earmarked as a potential replacement for Real Madrid target Eden Hazard, the Mirror understands.

Chelsea will take no chances heading into the January transfer window and are tipped to obtain a possible Hazard replacement in case the Belgian decides to pursue his Spain dream.
