Is there fire in addition to the smoke of Eden Hazard wanting to leave Chelsea? Or is just a transfer rumor planted in the media with a means of increasing the “Hazard Pay.”
Reigning Premier League Player of the Year, but now benched Chelsea star Eden Hazard is looking to leave claims French publication L’Equipe.
Hazard also sparked speculation over his future by liking an Instagram post linking him with Real Madrid, and according to L’Equipe, the 24-year-old has already informed his team-mates and family that he wants to leave Stamford Bridge at the end of the season.
Eden Hazard has admitted that he’s currently playing in the worst form of his life right now. Thus it’s fair to say that his shockingly unexpected decline in form is one of the primary reasons that Chelsea has fallen so far down the table this season. In the summer, Chelsea Manager Jose Mourinho made comments implying that Hazard was on Cristiano Ronaldo’s level.
Today, his regression is a huge part of why the defending champions are currently in 12th place.
