Chelsea transfer news: Despite the transfer deadline passing, Chelsea could still add to their ranks be re-signing club legend Eden Hazard
For many clubs in Europe, the summer transfer deadline has passed and their business will now be finished until they have a chance to shuffle their ranks in January.
There's also likely to be another shuffle in the free transfer market, with players that were unable to find clubs becoming an attractive proposition as they're free to join outside of a transfer window. It's rare that a top-end club like Chelsea will land a star at this stage, but there's one out there that could cap a dream summer.
In this case, it's club legend Eden Hazard, who became a free agent earlier this summer after ending his ties with Real Madrid. The Belgian international struggled to fit in at Los Blancos as injury concerns piled up until he was no longer seen as a key part of the project.
Hazard enjoyed some of the best years of his career in blue, spending seven-years at the club and racking up six trophies in that time. While things have no doubt changed since he left for the big-money move, the 32-year-old could still play an invaluable role within the team now.
There's an obvious sentimental aspect to it, Hazard may not earn the same wage at Stamford Bridge as he could elsewhere and he may not have that same importance in the squad with his role. However, in this instance, it's a deal that just makes sense for where the club are, have been and want to be.
