Belgium manager Roberto Martinez believes playmaker Eden Hazard is the ‘perfect fit’ for Spanish giants Real Madrid.

The midfielder has joined the Spanish giants from Chelsea for a package that could reportedly end up as much as £130-million.

Martinez, preparing to play Scotland in their Euro 2020 qualifier on Tuesday night, insists Hazard has made the right move.

He said: ‘He’s in the best moment of his career, at the age of 28, winning titles in different leagues.

‘He can build a new project wherever that is, as he’s one of the special signings of the summer.

‘For Real Madrid, he’s a phenomenal footballer to get. There couldn’t be too many new chapters to his career, so probably the only place he could go and win titles [is Madrid].

‘I think it is the perfect fit. He’s a player who’s gone through clubs and can be treated as a hero. We’re all looking forward to how that new chapter at Real Madrid starts.’
