Lopetegui is a big fan of Isco and knows all about his talent from his time working as Spain boss before he got sacked on the eve of the World Cup.

Hazard, fresh off Belgium's third-place finish at the World Cup, has been eyeing a move to the Bernabeu but Lopetegui's plans will come as welcome news to Chelsea.
