Real Madrid Set to Target West Ham's Felipe Anderson if Eden Hazard Pursuit Fails

Real Madrid could make a move for West Ham winger Felipe Anderson, if they can't secure a deal for Eden Hazard this summer.

Hazard's seemingly inevitable departure from Chelsea to the Spanish capital has become one of the longest running transfer sagas in world football, while the return of club legend Zinedine Zidane as Real Madrid manager has only exacerbated the speculation.

However, despite talk that Hazard has already made a decision on his future, with Real Madrid tipped to make a £70m bid, Real Madrid have contingency plans in place in the form of a list of backup targets.
