Transfer: Real Madrid confirm Hazard’s shirt number

Real Madrid teased fans ahead of Eden Hazard’s eagerly-awaited arrival at the Bernabeu, by selling his No.7 shirt at one of their official club shops, before finally confirmed his signing.

The Spanish giants have signed Hazard from Chelsea on a five-year contract, announcing the deal on Friday night.

The 28-year-old will be officially unveiled on Thursday, June 13, once he has undergone his medical.

Madrid are understood to have struck a deal with Chelsea that could rise to a club-record transfer of £130million, once all bonus payments come into play.

Hazard leaves Chelsea after seven years, having won two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, one League Cup, and two Europa League crowns.
