Cesc Fabregas says Chelsea need Eden Hazard if they are to win things
Friday 20 July 2018 13:20, UK
Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has urged team-mate Eden Hazard not to leave the Premier League club.
Hazard has been at Chelsea since 2012 and has been instrumental as the Blues have won a pair of Premier League titles and an FA Cup.
However, after helping Belgium to a third-place World Cup finish, Hazard hinted that he may be looking to leave Stamford Bridge, with Real Madrid believed to be his preferred destination.
Chelsea are in Australia on tour, while Hazard rests after his exploits in Russia, and Fabregas says his team-mate is integral to the club.
"I think he's our best player," said Fabregas.
