Premier League trio 'show interest in Thorgan Hazard'

Leicester City face increased competition from their Premier League rivals for the signing of Borussia Monchengladbach winger Thorgan Hazard, according to a report.

Borussia Monchengladbach attacker Thorgan Hazard has reportedly attracted interest from a trio of Premier League clubs after admitting that he would be open to a return to English football.

The 24-year-old has previously spent three seasons at Chelsea, where he failed to make a single appearance before being shipped out to Gladbach in 2014.

Thorgan, the younger brother of Chelsea ace Eden, has impressed during his stint in the Bundesliga and ended the last campaign with six goals in 23 appearances.

According to a report carried by talkSPORT, Stoke City, Leicester City and West Ham United are all looking to lure the Belgium international back to the English top flight.

Leicester are said to have been tracking Hazard for a while, but have delayed an official approach and now face increased competition from their rivals.

Hazard, under contract at Borussia-Park until 2019, claimed in February that he was happy in Germany but was unwilling to rule out a Premier League switch.
