Former Blue Ray Wilkins is not worried, however, about the possibility of Hazard, 26, being lured away from the Bridge he is hell bent the attacker will stay at a competitive Chelsea side.
The former Blue is cited in the Daily Star’ as saying that as long as the Blues are competitive, he doesn’t think Eden Hazard will leave Stamford Bridge.
He, however, admitted that if Chelsea doesn’t make the UEFA Champions League, star players like Eden Hazard will leave the West London club.
