The future of Eden Hazard makes headlines on Tuesday.

What the papers say

The saga of Eden Hazard's future at Stamford Bridge has taken another twist, reports the Evening Standard. The Belgium winger's hopes at sealing a move to Real Madrid this week have been dealt a blow by the reported imminent departure of Maurizio Sarri as head coach, the paper says.

Another potential Premier League departure over the summer could be Arsenal's striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, according to the Times. The paper says the Gabon international has been offered nearly £300,000 a week by Chinese Super League clubs Guangzhou Evergrande and Shanghai SIPG.
