Arsene Wenger believes Eden Hazard is 'too heavy' and his weight issues are the main reason behind his struggle to get started at Real Madrid.
The Belgian attacker joined the Liga giants from Chelsea in a deal worth €100 million (£88m/$112m) as the star signing of Zinedine Zidane's second stint at the club.
However, Hazard has had little impact on his new team, scoring one goal in 10 appearances to date, and was outshone by 18-year-old team-mate Rodrygo Goes' hat-trick in Madrid's 6-0 thrashing of Galatasaray on Wednesday.
