Eden Hazard says Luka Modric won’t hand him the No 10 shirt at Real Madrid, having asked the Croatian about it through his compatriot Mateo Kovacic.
Kovacic is on loan at Chelsea from Real Madrid.
“I was lucky enough to speak to Modric through Kovacic,” said Hazard. “I joked and asked him if he’d let me have 10 and he said no. I’ll have to find another number but that’s not important, playing for this badge is the main thing.”
