John Obi Mikel calls former Chelsea team-mate "laziest footballer I've ever seen"

John Obi Mikel has claimed his former Chelsea team-mate Eden Hazard is the "laziest footballer" he's ever seen.

The pair played together in west London, winning several honours in that time. Mikel had been at Stamford Bridge for years when Hazard rocked up in 2012, signing from Lille with a sky-high reputation. The Belgian would enjoy a hugely impressive career in the capital.

He helped Chelsea twice win the title, whilst on an individual basis he was handed the PFA Player of the Year award in 2015. Hazard's skillset saw him lauded throughout his time in England, but those who saw him everyday will have observed a very different side to him.
