Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has been in the news of late following his inability to sign a new contract and reports have emerged that Manchester United are among the clubs keen on a move for the Belgian international star.
Hazard was a key part of the Chelsea squad that won the 2014/15 Premier League title during the second spell of the aforementioned Mourinho at Stamford Bridge.
The 27-year-old has less than two years left on his current Chelsea deal thereby leading to transfer rumours about his long-term future at the club.
Hazard has already stated that he’s unsure about signing a new contract and that if he could spend the rest of his career at Chelsea if he decides to stay at the club.
Chelsea could decide to sell him at the end of this season (one year left on his current deal) if he decides not to sign a new contract.
According to bookmakers Ladbrokes via the Daily Mirror, Manchester United are fourth favourites to sign Eden Hazard behind favourites Real Madrid, Paris Saint Germain and Juventus.
There are fears that the time of England international Gary Cahill at the English Premier League outfit Chelsea is finally winding down.

Gary Cahill has been out of favour at the Stamford Bridge but it was expected that he be handed a playing time in the European League game but that did not happen and the player was stunned.
The Telegraph reports that Gary Cahill is disappointed at the snub by the Italian boss with claims that he is being made to feel like a ghost in the team.
It has been revealed that Gary Cahill has not been having a talking relationship with the former Napoli coach and that hints that his contract with the club will wind down without being renewed.
Gary Cahill has a six months deal remaining at the Stamford Bridge and there is no indication that he would be handed a new deal with no talks on the table.
However, it is expected that the former Bolton defender finds his way out of the club at the end of the season with a number of interests already on the table.
German Bundesliga outfit Frankfurt striker Luka Jovic has spoken on the interest in his signature from English Premier League outfit Chelsea ahead of the coming summer window.
The star striker has been linked with a number of big money moves with expectations that he would leave the Bundesliga outfit ion the last winter window.
The likes of Spanish La Liga outfit Barcelona have been linked with a move for Luka Jovic as a result of his impressive performance so far this season.
However, Luka Jovic has confessed to have received a bid from the West London outfit, stressing that it is a pride for him to be linked with such a great European club.
He, therefore, noted that he is happy with his Bundesliga side and will be hoping to concentrate on his play at the club so as to continue his progress.
Manager Maurizio Sarri has identified Luka Jovic as a player who could replace Olivier Giroud who is also linked with a move away from the club in the coming summer window.
The West London outfit lacked a cutting edge in their attack at the beginning of the season which is the reason why the decision was made to bring in Gonzalo Higuain from Juventus.
There are fears that Spanish La Liga outfit Real Madrid might experience one of the biggest disappointments as they might not secure their dream move for Belgium international Eden Hazard.

The West London outfit are reported to have tabled a £100 million asking price for the star player but that seems not to be accepted by the Spanish side with latest reports claiming that Real Madrid are only willing to pay £30 million for the star player plus Mateo Kovacic.
This is reported to have angered Chelsea and they are now willing to end the deal with the Spanish side as they will not take anything lower than £80 million for Eden Hazard.
However, the development will hand big hope to PSG and Barcelona to land the star player should Real Madrid fail to agree on a deal with the West Londoners.
English Premier League outfit Chelsea defender David Luiz has revealed the simple questions manager Maurizio Sarri asked the players when they met in clear-the-air talks in order to ensure the team are on the same page after returning to winning ways.

It was revealed that manager Maurizio Sarri held talks with the players in order to have them return to winning ways by calming nerves.
However, the Brazilian international has revealed that the Italian boss asked the players if they actually believe in what he is trying to implement at the club or not.
There are indications that the former Napoli boss got a positive answer with claims by the former PSG defender that the Blues players are behind their manager.
David Luiz stated that the development is a part of the process of returning back to winning ways and giving a better performance in consequent games.
However, Sarri’s job has been linked away with speculations that he would be shown the way pot should the club fail to hand a better performance in subsequent games.
Chelsea assistant manager Gianfranco Zola has given major advice to the club’s youngster Callum Hudson-Odoi on what to do as regards his future at the club.
Callum Hudson-Odoi is reportedly keen to leave the West London outfit as he is unable to secure a regular playing time under manager Maurizio Sarri.
German Bundesliga outfit Bayern Munich are reported to be seeking for the signature of Callum Hudson-Odoi and have made an attempt on three occasions but they have been rejected by the Blues with suggestions that it has unsettled the player.
However, Zola has advised Callum Hudson-Odoi not to rush out of the Stamford Bridge but should remain patient and wait for his time.
Admitting that he might not have been playing time at the moment; Zola is of the opinion that Callum Hudson-Odoi will soon have his own time, noting that he is still young and have enough time.
He urged Callum Hudson-Odoi to keep working hard and not be carried away by the quality players in the team.

Their one and only meeting this season ended in a 2-2 draw in a Premier League game played earlier this season.
Manchester United and Chelsea are both interested in signing the midfield duo of Ivan Rakitic and Joao Felix ahead of the summer’s transfer window.
Barcelona midfielder Rakitic is in the middle of a contract standoff with the Catalans.

Spanish media platform Sport claim that both Manchester United and Chelsea have enquired about his transfer availability with the view of signing him for £57m.
The two Premier League clubs are amongst the plethora of European teams keen on Benfica whizkid Joao Felix.
Other interested parties include Liverpool, Arsenal, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Juventus.
The emerging report claims that Belgium international Eden Hazard has given his potential club Real Madrid his personal terms before he can accept to seal a deal with the club.
It is understood that the star player will be leaving the West London outfit Chelsea at the end of the season after he refused to sign a deal to extend his stay at the club.
He has openly confessed his love for the La Liga outfit and that is the major but that does not mean he will not give them his own terms that must be met before sealing the deal.
However, it is reported that Eden Hazard has demanded £15 million as his signing fee that must be paid by Real Madrid while he is requesting for £17 million net in wages annually to make him the highest paid player at the club.
It is therefore not clear if Real Madrid will hand him his request but there are suggestions that the Spanish outfit are already considering the offer and hope to return with feedback soon.
Meanwhile, there are speculations that Eden Hazard will have a change of mind on his transfer to Real Madrid should Zinedine Zidane joins Chelsea as speculated.

It is understood that the Serie A outfit have an option in the loan deal to sign the Nigerian international on a permanent deal for a fee of £9 million which they are ready to pay.
Ola Aina was made to leave the West London outfit as it is obvious that he could not beat the competition in the team to secure regular playing time but he is being tipped by the club to become a world class player which is why he as handed the opportunity to secure more playing time away.
He has therefore been impressive for Torino, scoring his first goal for the club on Sunday in their 1-0 win against Udinese.
It is therefore not sure if the West London outfit will sanction a move for Ola Aina on a permanent deal as they could have need for him in the future.
There are suggestions that there could be a twist in the transfer deal of Belgium international Eden Hazard if the West London outfit Chelsea decide to make a decision as regards manager Maurizio Sarri.
It is understood that Eden Hazard has already made up his mind top join quit the West London outfit to the Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid after confessing his love for the club.
However, that could change if the Italian boss is sacked at the Stamford Bridge and former Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane is brought in immediately.
The future of the former Napoli boss has been under doubt with suggestions that he could be sacked after seeing his side humiliated by 6-0 against Man City in the Premier League clash.
The former Real Madrid boss has been rumoured to be wanted at the Stamford Bridge after reports claim that the Blues chiefs have already held a discussion on how to go about it.
It is understood that Eden Hazard is a big fan of the former World Best Footballer and could have a change of mind to play under him at the Stamford Bridge should the Blues owner Abramovich land him before the end of the season.
It is suggested that French international Olivier Giroud will be the next name to leave the English Premier League outfit Chelsea in the coming summer window after failing to deliver goals at the club.
The West London outfit have been without cutting edge which is the reason why Spanish striker Alvaro Morata was made to leave the club on a loan deal until the end of the season but there are indications that he would not return with the Blues already making effort to make the loan deal for Gonzalo Higuain permanent.
However, it is claimed that the Blues have already submitted a bid for 21-year-old Luka Jovic to German outfit Eintracht Frankfurt to have him replace the former Arsenal striker who could be leaving the club soon.
Luka Jovic is a Benfica player but currently having his loan spell with the Bundesliga outfit but that he might not have the opportunity to return back to the Portuguese club with the level of interest lined up for him.
Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are also monitoring the situation with Luka Jovic as they hope to land him to bolster their attack.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have been advised by former player Michael Owen to look out for more additions in the attack.
