If his FA cup winning goal for Chelsea is not reason enough for the London based club to keep Hazard at the club, it leaves the club with a thousand more reasons. In other words, the Belgian superstar is absolutely indispensable for the English Premier League club.
A player of Hazard’s ability will have loads of suitors in the transfer window, especially when Chelsea won’t be a part of Champions League football next season. However, Chelsea must do everything in their powers to keep the winger at Stamford Bridge to bounce back and get out of their recent blues.
Here are few of the many reasons why Chelsea cannot afford to lose the £200,000-a-week Eden Hazard:
A man in his own league
There are a few selected players in the whole world, let alone the league, who can come anywhere near to the dribbling ability of Hazard. With a total of 147 successful dribbles this season, Hazard beats his nearest premier league competitor, Wilfried Zaha, comprehensively by 40 dribbles. It’s not just the sheer number of dribbles but the success rate (82%) of those is astonishing in Hazard’s case.
It’s safe to say that Hazard is by far the best dribbler of the ball in the English Premier League. In the world of football, only elite players like Lionel Messi and Neymar give a proper fight to the Chelsea’s prized asset.
The Poster Boy
Every big project needs a poster boy and there aren’t many better available out there than Hazard. Chelsea must keep hold of their big names to make progress and Hazard is undeniably the brightest star at the club, who lights up the Stamford Bridge.
More than ever, Chelsea need their main man to show loyalty now because of the situations around club. In return, they must hand Hazard proper incentives and assurances to help him commit to the vision of the club.
A big name like Eden Hazard could also bear a great deal of influence on the possible incoming players in the transfer window.
A big presence in the dressing room
Chelsea are known for having some of the greatest leaders in England in recent times. However, after the departure of players like Lampard, John Terry and Drogba, the club’s dressing room has lost some of its charisma.
Hazard, who has been at Chelsea for 6 years now, is among the oldest players at the club. Thus, it is of utmost importance to keep a big presence like the Belgian international in the dressing room.
