Dani Carvajal welcomes Chelsea star Eden Hazard at Real Madrid: 'He's a player who doesn't hide'

Dani Carvajal believes Chelsea star Eden Hazard would help Real Madrid get back on track with his talismanic qualities and his never-say-die attitude.

Hazard wants to move to the Santiago Bernabeu after seven years at Chelsea, although face-to-face talks between Real and the Blues broke down on Monday due to Chelsea's £100m+ asking price for the Belgian.

However, the winger is still expected to make the move to La Liga this summer to join a Real side who finished in third place in the Spanish top-flight last season - 19 points behind winners and arch-rivals Barcelona.

Real have already sought to address their goal scoring woes with the £60m signing of Luka Jovic from Eintracht Frankfurt and, with talks for Hazard set to continue in the coming days, Carvajal has talked up the Belgian's qualities.

"Hazard would give us a lot," Carvajal told El Larguero.

"He's a player who wants the ball and doesn't hide.

"[Luka] Jovic is a great No.9 and he has goals in him. I hope he's decisive for us."
