CHRISTIAN BENTEKE has revealed his pal Eden Hazard dreams of playing for Real Madrid.
Aston Villa strike sensation Benteke spoke openly about the Chelsea star’s ambition — and his claims will add spice to today’s clash at Stamford Bridge.
Benteke confessed Hazard’s secret in a recent interview in Belgium where he spoke about his relationship with Chelsea’s £32million summer signing that dates back years.
The two met while playing for Belgium at youth level — Hazard the provider, Benteke the target man — and have been close ever since.
Benteke said: “I am not surprised at Eden’s success with Chelsea — and he can do even better. He has the qualities needed to become an even greater player. His dream is to join Real Madrid — so I don’t see why he can’t join them in a year or two.”
This will not be welcome news among Chelsea fans who have taken the playmaker to their hearts since his summer move from Lille.
In fact, it will be particularly worrying given Benteke’s closeness to Hazard.
Benteke, 22, added: “We used to play together in Belgium junior teams. He would play No 10 and I was No 9 and there was an understanding between us straight away.
“He has a bit of fantasy about him and so do I. We are good mates.”
Hazard and Benteke have another big pal in Everton ace Marouane Fellaini. The Premier League trio are inseparable every time they get together to play for their country
