EDEN HAZARD's barber has leapt to the defence of his client after trolls suggested that no club wanted to sign the former Chelsea man.
Hazard, 32, has been a free agent since Real Madrid tore up his £400,000-a-week contract at the beginning of the transfer window.
Despite being a free agent, he has struggled to find a new club – with potential suitors put off by his high wages and struggles with fitness.
The winger has reportedly even considered retiring if a suitable club does not come forward by the end of the window.
Fans online have suggested that Hazard's struggles to find a club are because no club is interested, but his barber has moved to quash that rumour.
A fan commented on Hazard's Instagram, saying "No one wants to sign you."

To which his barber snapped back in an explicit response.
A Star Barbers, who has cut Hazard's hair for a number of years, replied to the comment, writing: "That's funny because he's rejected six teams. T**t."
Hazard's time in the Spanish capital was a huge disappointment with injuries limiting him to 76 appearances, in which he scored just seven goals and provided 12 assists.
Last season he scored once in 10 matches and failed to play a full 90 minutes.

With injuries and illness causing him to miss 78 matches for Real Madrid, Hazard has failed to complete a full 90 minutes of football since November 2021.
The majority of Hazard's interest has come from outside of Europe – with MLS sides Vancouver Whitecaps and David Beckham's Inter Miami reportedly putting deals on the table for the forward.
If the barber's word is gospel, that would suggest that Hazard has rejected playing alongside Lionel Messi in Miami.
