Arsenal has become serious about adding Eden Hazard to their team and they have even held talks with his representatives, according to a report.
The Belgian has struggled since he moved to Real Madrid in 2019 and the Spanish club will gladly offload the former Chelsea hero.
Arsenal needs new attackers, and Hazard has a lot of experience in destroying Premier League defences.
A move to the Emirates could help him return to form and it seems Mikel Arteta thinks so too.
Foot Mercato, as reported by The Daily Mail, claims the attacker is strongly on the radar of the Gunners and they have held talks with his entourage as of last week.
Arteta wants to add his experience to his current group, which could boost their chances of becoming a top-four club again.

So a big no thank you from, I reckon, almost all Gooners.
We had the opportunity to sign the young, impressive Tammy Abraham from Chelsea in the last transfer window for just over 30M, but couldn’t pull the trigger on the deal. The gaffer decided to keep Laca instead. Now we know how things turned out – a major blunder! Eden Hazard, I guess, would quench our never-ending thirst for Chelsea players at the twilight of their career, seeking a retirement home. Willian, David Luiz, Petr Ceck….
