Chelsea forward Eden Hazard will be staying at the club until 2020, according to manager Maurizio Sarri.
The Belgian has been at Chelsea since 2012, signing from French side Lille and has developed into one of the most dangerous attacking players in world football.
Under Sarri, Hazard has started the current season off in superb fashion, scoring eight goals in 10 games, reigniting rumours of a move to Real Madrid – with the Belgian’s contract up in 2020.
But Sarri, who claims Hazard will be staying at Chelsea until the end of his contract, believes the forward can still improve if he focuses less on fun.
“Hazard is immense and I don’t think even he knows how much he can still improve,” Sarri told Corriere dello Sport (via Football Italia).
“I said he could end up in the tight circle of the best three or four players in the world.
“The problem is he plays to enjoy himself and at times doesn’t realise the importance of moving from fun to reaping the rewards. At the end of the day, you’ve got to get the fruits of your labour.
“Hazard’s approach is a positive, but it can become a potential limitation too. He needs to lift his head up, look around and realise there’s a whole world in front of him that he can dictate with his feet for the good of the collective and not just the individual.
“He said such kind words about me, I wasn’t expecting that. His contract expires in 2020, but he’s staying here. I was tempted to use Hazard as a centre-forward and I might consider it again in the future, but it’s not the right time now. We need to believe in Olivier Giroud and Alvaro Morata.”
Hazard is currently top scorer in the Premier League with seven goals, two ahead of his closest competitors, and will be looking to add to that tally when Chelsea face Manchester United in their first match after the international break.
Leading the way is Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek who has scored nine goals for Genoa in Serie A, ahead of Cristhian Stuani, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe who all have eight.
Hazard’s seven goals have come from just 12 shots, 10 of which were on target – the fewest attempts on goal among the top five.
The Belgian has also been a key creator too with three assists from 19 chances created, level with Neymar among the top five scorers.
