The odds on Chelsea forward Eden Hazard leaving Stamford Bridge to join a Premier League rival have been slashed by bookies.

Hazard fuelled transfer rumours by admitting after the Blues' 3-1 loss to Tottenham Hotspur that he is not ruling out a move away in 2019.

Real Madrid have long been considered the favourites to sign the Belgium international, but The Mirror reports that a shock switch to either Manchester United or Manchester City in January could now be a possibility.

The publication quotes Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Apati as saying: "Hazard's recent comments won't have gone down well with Chelsea fans but he could soon become public enemy number one in West London with a surprise move to United or City potentially on the cards."

Hazard, out of contract at the end of next season, has seven goals and four assists in 12 Premier League appearances this term.
