CHELSEA's Eden Hazard has set the Premier League alight since his arrival in 2012, but could his younger brother be about to jump ship from the Blues to the Tigers?
Hull City are believed to be one of the clubs who have enquired about taking Thorgan Hazard on loan from Jose Mourinho's side next season, according to Sportinastorm.com.
Thorgan initially joined the Blues the same year as Eden, but he has not been able to work his way into the first-team picture at Stamford Bridge, failing to make a first-team appearance to date.
The former Lens man has spent 18 months out on loan with Belgian outfit Zulte Waregem, netting 13 times and providing 19 assists this season, leading to a number of clubs in Germany, England and Spain showing an interest in taking him on loan next term.
It is understood that the Tigers and Crystal Palace have enquired over the availability of the Belgium international, who is keen to taste life in the Premier League.
The 21-year-old has suggested that he would be keen to fight for his place under Mourinho, but he will face stiff competition for places from the likes of Mohamed Salah, Willian, Oscar and his older brother.
Hazard recently said: "At the end of the season, I'll return to Chelsea. Then we will discuss our options. But next season, I would like to play in the Premier League or Bundesliga."Lambert dubs Villa v City clash their 'cup final'
After the Tigers' thrilling comeback at Fulham yesterday, Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert is already looking ahead to next Saturday's clash at Villa Park, dubbing it Villa's 'cup final'.
With Steve Bruce's men looking forward to their own proper final in the FA Cup in a couple of weeks, Lambert's side suffered a 4-1 drubbing at Swansea, leaving Villa in 16th place, just four points above the drop zone having failed to win in any of their last six Premier League outings.
"I don't know all the results but I heard one or two and that keeps you there above that line which is the most important thing. But next week's game is a must win game," he told Sky Sports just after his side's hammering.
"Three very tough games we've got. The lads know how big the game is next week and they know it's a cup final."Curtis Davies lends a hand
With 89 minutes on the clock yesterday City appeared to have Premier League survival within their grasp.
Then a long ball looking for Darren Bent was hoisted into the area and up rose City's stalwart defender Curtis Davies. The result (see picture), said pundit Glen Hoddle, was a lucky escape for City.
"Definitely a penalty," said Hoddle on Sky Sports. "It's hit his hand.
"The appeal from Fulham wasn't ferocious enough. The team didn't react, even the fans behind the goal didn't react. If it had been Anfield or Old Trafford you would have had a huge reaction and referees can be swayed."
Perhaps thankfully for City, Fulham fans seem to be more polite.Papers full of Fulham mishaps
