Former Arsenal attacker Kevin Campbell has urged Newcastle United to sign former Chelsea winger Eden Hazard in January.

Newcastle United and Aston Villa are reportedly set to make £17 million summer moves for Hazard, who currently plays for Real Madrid.

The Belgian international could be loaned out by Real Madrid with an obligatory clause to buy him for £17 million.

However, Campbell believes Hazard is worth the risk for the right amount of money, adding that Newcastle is a good option for him and the player can still deliver.

“The thing is, Hazard’s injury record is not much better than Allan Saint-Maximin’s. "We all know what Hazard can do,” Campbell said, as quoted by Football Insider.

“If he could rekindle even a quarter of his best, he would be devastating for somebody."

“We have to remember that he carried Chelsea for a few years. "Yes, he is not the same player now, but he can still deliver.”

He added, “Newcastle would be a good option." I think he would be a great signing for them at £17 million. How much is left in the tank? He has had a lot of injuries, so I am not sure. "It might be worth the risk, though.”
