SIMON JOHNSON’S BARMY ARMY.
That’s what we ought to be belting out at the Bridge next season. He’s just delivered the best piece of news we’re likely to get all summer.
You know the story by now, Eden Hazard has been linked with a move to Real Madrid. He appears keen on going there, despite Zinedine Zidane’s departure.
He has made it clear he won’t push for a move, though, and it doesn’t look as though Real’s interest in signing him is as serious as it seems.
No meeting between #Hazard's entourage and Real Madrid planned this weekend. As things stand, his camp don't think transfer from #cfc will happen

Standard Sport reporter Simon Johnson shared his understanding of the situation on Twitter, and it’ll put your mind at rest.
He posted the below tweet, noting that, at this stage, it’s unlikely that Hazard will become a Real Madrid player this summer.
We’d hate to use the ‘Se queda’ term, coined by Gerard Pique last season. He was left with egg on his face.
But we’re going to do it anyway… HE’S STAYING!
