The Welsh international is among the best players in the world right now and would be a perfect replacement for Eden Hazard.

Gareth Bale joined Southampton's youth team in 1999 and made his first-team debut for the club as a 16-year-old during the 2005-2006 season. He made 40 Championship appearances for the Saints before joining Tottenham Hotspur in 2007.

The 27-year-old enjoyed a successful spell with the Spurs and won the PFA Player of the Year 2012-2013. His impressive performances in the Premier League caught the attention of Real Madrid's backroom and they paid the then-world record transfer fee of €101 million to sign the Welshmen in 2013.

However, injuries hampered his growth at Real Madrid. Nevertheless, on his day, the world knows that he is capable of winning a game on his own and he showed that recently in the 2018 UEFA Champions League final against Liverpool.

Real Madrid might refuse to sell Bale after losing Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus in the last transfer window but Chelsea could use Los Blancos' admiration for Eden Hazard to play a part in the deal.
