Eden Hazard, Thibaut Courtois 'pushing N'Golo Kante to join Real Madrid'

Real Madrid pair Eden Hazard and Thibaut Courtois allegedly want Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante to join them at the Bernabeu.

Since Kante arrived at Stamford Bridge in 2016, both Hazard and Courtois have completed high-profile switches to the La Liga giants.

Kante has established himself as one of Chelsea's key men during that time, helping the club win the Premier League, FA Cup and Europa League.

However, it was claimed earlier this week that the Blues and Real have reached an informal agreement over the France international's future, with the suggestion being that the English side would let their Spanish counterparts know if the 28-year-old wanted to take on a new challenge.

According to The Athletic, Hazard and Courtois have indicated that they would be in favour of a reunion with the World Cup winner next summer.

The report adds that while Kante still has a deal with Chelsea until 2023, the Belgian duo feel that Madrid should make the combative player their number-one target ahead of the following campaign.
