Former Chelsea and Aston Villa star, Chris Sutton has advised Real Madrid manager, Zinedine Zidane to abandon his pursuit of Eden Hazard and instead sign Manchester City player, Raheem Sterling.

Zidane has made Hazard his top priority in his first transfer window since his return to the dugout at the Santiago Bernabeu, but Sutton believes he is targeting the wrong Premier League attacker.

However, Sutton hailed Sterling as ‘world class’ in the aftermath of England’s 5-1 rout in Montenegro, where the Manchester City star ran the show while bagging a late goal.

“You have to say that Raheem Sterling is now world class,” Sutton told the Daily Mail.

“If you were Real Madrid boss Zinedine Zidane, surely you would want to buy him over Eden Hazard. Is there anything Sterling cannot do? His weight of pass is superb, his movement off the ball is lethal and he has become deadly in front of goal.

“What defender in the world would want to face Sterling in this form? It doesn’t matter if you take him on or back off — either way he will destroy you.

“He is still just 24 and improving year on year. His wonderful performances for England in the last two games have confirmed that he can thrive on the international stage.

“Sterling is one of the hottest properties in world football. If I was Real Madrid, I’d be making him my No1 target.”

You can sign anyone you want. After all you are matured enough to know what's good for you, so go ahead for whom you want

ff

Chris Sutton's analysis wasn't wrong but he's wrong in the comparison of Haz & Sterl.
Chris is English, Sterling is English. it's Chris's job to hype his countryman in the ears of the "World's Biggest Club"

But the truth is "Hazard is top class, Sterling is emerging top class" (their difference).


Modified:
For those who keep saying the Brits are good in hyping their own.
Well, that's one of the major differences between the Whites and we Blacks.
When the White sees a potential in their own, they give and do everything to raise it, including hyping it in Media. But when we Blacks sees a potential in our own, we just want to drown it. Why?

You who trolls today can turn out to be a victim tomorrow. Beware.

Halla madrid

No They should sign Hazard.. Vinicius Jr is very similar to Sterling.

Remind me against who Sterling played? Sterling is in form but don't put him and Hazard in the same bracket.

Halla madrid

Madrid is dead since someone left

Do you want to know who?

Signing hazard will be more easy

english hype men , as expected,

You dey watch football at all?

Hazard is overrated

By the way
Zidane wants to buy hazard, wants to buy neymar, wants to buy mpappe
How much real Madrid give this guy to take buy players self?

I am a website designer, check my signature for a professional website

Hazard the earlier for you the better for you

Hazard is a better player no doubt

But can he score 30 goals a season ?

His best bet is to sign LeBron James if the cash is available.

I don't buy the idea of using two phones when you can actually use one.

Abuja is the federal capital territory and Lagos is a state in Nigeria

That implies that a noun is a name of person, animal, place or thing.

shut up!
