Paper round-up: Hazard drops Real Madrid hint, Arnautovic axe, Drinkwater rejects England

Eden Hazard has fuelled talk of a move to Real Madrid after admitting his “dream” of working with Zinedine Zidane. 

“Of course I don’t know what will happen in my career in the future, but to play under him would be a dream,” the Blues star told RTL.

West Ham could axe £25million flop Marko Arnautovic in January, according to the Daily Mirror. 

New boss David Moyes is understood to have been given the green light to sell any under-performing Hammers stars as he looks to turn around their fortunes. 

While Chelsea midfielder Danny Drinkwater has rejected the opportunity to link up with Gareth Southgate’s depleted England squad due to concerns with his fitness. 

Drinkwater had received a call-up from the England boss in the midst of an injury crisis but the 25-year-old – who’s made four appearances for Chelsea since returning from a calf injury – has snubbed Southgate’s request.
