5 Premier League superstars FC Barcelona could sign this summer

#2 Eden Hazard (Chelsea FC)

FC Barcelona v Chelsea FC - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: Second Leg — The playmaker will make the Blaugrana a fearsome attacking team once again

Following Antoine Griezmann's decision to remain at Atletico Madrid next term, Barcelona are currently in the transfer market looking for alternatives to the Frenchman.

With just a few attackers of Griezmann's caliber in the market, Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard could be the ultimate solution for Barcelona to finally fill the void that Neymar left behind in the team.

The Belgian has been a long-term target of the Catalan giants and a swap deal involving Ousmane Dembele was reportedly planned in January.

With Blaugrana in great need of a world-class attacker to complement Lionel Messi and Luis Suarez up front, their attention might turn to the playmaker once again when the World Cup ends in July.

Hazard is an incredible player with great qualities. His intelligence, dribbling skills and the ability to get past multiple opponents has earned him several comparisons with Lionel Messi. If Barcelona succeed in signing this player, their attack will be truly unstoppable.
