According to the report on Daily Star and OK Diario, Premier League side Tottenham are interested in the signature of Eden Hazard.

The report added that Antonio Conte does not want the Belgian in his team considering what transpired when he was handling Chelsea even though he won title with Eden Hazard.

Why did Antonio Conte reject Eden Hazard at Tottenham?

Conte has a very strict regime over how he coaches players - right down to what they are eating - and that never fared well with the Stamford Bridge poster boy.

Hazard has often treated training as a chore and never pushes himself too hard outside of match day - the complete antithesis to Conte’s methods.
