Eden Hazard: Chelsea star will only join Real Madrid on one condition - Wilkins
RAY WILKINS doesn’t believe Eden Hazard needs to leave Chelsea in order to be recognised as one of the world’s best players.
The Belgium international has continually proven to be one of the most lethal attackers in the Premier League.
Incredibly, Antonio Conte recently stated Hazard is yet to reach his full potential and can still improve.
He already has eight goals and seven assists to his name in all competitions this season.
But his performances have also led to speculation over his future, with Real Madrid linked with a move for the 26-year-old.
However, former Chelsea assistant coach Wilkins doesn’t see why Hazard would want to leave west London.
As long as Chelsea are competitive, I don't think Hazard will leave
"I think he's just trying to get the ball more. Naturally attacking players, when they aren't getting the ball, look to drop deeper to get it,” Wilkins told Sporting Bet.
“You can't do anything about footballers wanting to drop back deeper to receive the ball.
“He needs to be on the ball more, he's electrifying and as soon as the ball touches his feet, the whole of Stamford Bridge comes alive.

"As long as Chelsea are competitive, I don't think Hazard will leave.
“He's in the best city in the world, in the best league in the world and with a club that is always looking to improve.
“Of course Real Madrid can attract any player, because of their history, but Chelsea is also a very attractive place to be and the club is always in the hunt for major trophies – so I don't see the urge for him to leave.
"If Chelsea don't make the Champions League, players like Hazard will disappear though."
