Benteke: 'Hazard keen on Madrid'

Aston Villa striker Christian Benteke has revealed that his international colleague Eden Hazard would one day like to play for Real Madrid.

Twenty-one-year-old Hazard only joined European champions Chelsea during the summer from Lille in a deal believed to be worth around £32m.

However, Benteke feels that his fellow Belgian could end up wearing the white of Los Blancos within the next two years.

"I am not surprised at Eden's success with Chelsea and he can do even better," Benteke told The Sun. "He has the qualities needed to become an even greater player. His dream is to join Real Madrid, so I don't see why he can't join them in a year or two."

Hazard has scored five goals in all competitions for the Blues this season.
