Welcome back to Football Transfer News by Last Word On Football. Today we delve deeper into reports around Benjamin Pavard, Eden Hazard, Paul Pogba and Juventus<\/a> striker Gonzalo\u00a0 Higuain.<\/p>\n

FTN: Latest on Pavard, Hazard, Paul Pogba and Higuain<\/h1>\n

Pavard\u2019s World Cup Earns Him a Transfer<\/h2>\n

French full-back Benjamin Pavard has been one of the breakout stars of this World Cup. The right-back has been a key part of the French side and has played in all their games so far. In a matter of hours, the 22-year-old could be a World Cup winner, which will surely boost his price significantly.<\/p>\n

His standout performances in Russia have caught the eyes of Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>, Bayern Munich<\/a> and Manchester United<\/a>. A move to the Premier League could be worthwhile for the youngster as it is unlikely he will take the spot of Joshua Kimmich at the German club. A fee for Pavard is undecided at the moment but a move away from VfB Stuttgart is likely.<\/p>\n

Chelsea Have a Hazard Ahead<\/h2>\n

Belgian winger Eden Hazard has been heavily linked with a move away from London after the Blues had a very underwhelming season. Hazard was a standout performer in the World Cup, earning four Man of the Match award, scoring three goals and providing two assists.<\/p>\n

With Ronaldo leaving<\/a> Real Madrid<\/a>, Hazard could very well be his replacement. Chelsea<\/a> have made two big signings this week already, with new manager Maurizio Sarri<\/a> and Jorginho<\/a>. With the new manager wanting funds to revamp the current Chelsea side, Hazard\u2019s departure may be needed to fund new additions.<\/p>\n

Pogba Not Destined for Manchester United<\/h2>\n

The talk of two summers ago was #PogBack. However, Pogba may not be destined to become the local legend that he was expected to be. After two sub-par seasons with United, he could be set for a move abroad this summer.<\/p>\n

Pogba has always shone in the French side and the 2018 World Cup has been no exception for that. Agent Mino Raiola has reportedly spoken to the midfielder about a move to Barcelona<\/a>, however, earlier in the window, reports were flying around about a return to Juventus or a new challenge in France with PSG.<\/p>\n

Higuain Set For England<\/h2>\n

Gonzalo Higuain\u2019s time at Juventus could be up as five-time Balon d\u2019Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo has joined the Old Lady. The Argentine striker is in high demand, and Chelsea are favourites to sign Higuain.<\/p>\n

A reported swap deal with Morata was rejected and Juventus are demanding cash for the 30-year-old. Chelsea struggled up front last year, and the addition of Higuain will surely solve that issue, as his experience and talent are second to none. A fee of over \u00a3100 million is likely to be sufficient for the Argentine forward.<\/p>\n
