Chelsea's sixth January arrival Noni Madueke has named Eden Hazard as his favourite Blues player from the past. The 20-year-old was confirmed as signing number six for the winter window following Mykhailo Mudryk, Joao Felix, Benoit Badiashile, Andrey Santos and David Datro Fofana through the door at Stamford Bridge.
Despite an injury-ridden campaign thus far, his impressive displays had courted the attention of Europe's biggest clubs. But, Chelsea won the race; football.london understands that new technical director Christopher Vivell was a driving force behind signing Madueke, having previously tried to do so at RB Leipzig.
Madueke follows Cody Gakpo, who joined Liverpool, as a major January departure from Dutch outfit PSV, although it is unlikely the two will square off on Saturday when Chelsea travel to Anfield for their next Premier League fixture.
