Thorgan Hazard only left Chelsea last year, but never appeared for the Blues in his three-year stay in West London.

Since his departure in 2015 though, the 23-year-old has gone from strength to strength at German side Borussia Monchengladbach.

Hazard, brother of Chelsea midfielder Eden, has appeared 45 times since making his move to Germany permanent in 2015, and scored 13 goals in that time.

But it’s his recent run of form which has grabbed the attention of those across Europe, with his goal in Monchengladbach’s 2-1 defeat at home to Barcelona in the Champions League last month his seventh of the season.

Although he hasn’t netted since then, the 23-year-old is progressing at quite a rate and, with Manchester City reported to be monitoring the midfielder, Chelsea should act fast to bring him back to the Bridge.

He reportedly has a £13 million buyback clause in his contract, which would be considerably less than what Monchengladbach demand of the youngster, so the Blues should act fast to get their man.
