James Maddison has dropped a hugely complimentary verdict on former Chelsea star Eden Hazard as rumours persist over a return to Stamford Bridge. The Belgian playmaker was a hugely influential figure in west London ahead of a big-money move to Real Madrid.
He has not quite been able to replicate the excellent displays that he strung together with the Blues in Spain having been hit with injury and poor form. Hazard has netted just six goals in 65 appearances for Los Blancos, having found the net just once so far this season.
Despite his poor form in Spain, that has not halted rumours over a switch back to Stamford Bridge at some point in the near future. Hazard’s name has long been linked with a return to Chelsea, whilst reports from Goal have suggested that the prospect of the Belgian coming back to west London was set to be explored but the sanctions imposed by the UK Government on current owner Roman Abramovich has put paid to those plans.
