Graeme Le Saux urges Chelsea to keep Eden Hazard

Graeme Le Saux believes that Chelsea should do everything in their power to keep Eden Hazard out of Real Madrid's clutches.

Former Chelsea full-back Graeme Le Saux has encouraged the club to retain Eden Hazard's services.

The Belgian attacker was Chelsea's Player of the Season during the 2014-15 title-winning campaign, but he has struggled to produce the goods so far this term, having failed to find the net in any competition.

He has recently been linked with a summer switch to Real Madrid, but Le Saux has insisted that the Blues should do everything that they can to keep the 25-year-old at Stamford Bridge.

"If you get him into the same frame of mind he was in last season then he is a special player who can be the difference," he told 888 Poker.

"I've seen a lot of him this season and he has struggled but it's not his workrate that is letting him down or attitude or confidence in making himself available. In front of goal he has hit a wall and can't score and it's had an impact on the rest of his game."

"I just think he is a precocious talent and if I was in Guus Hiddink's shoes every single day I've have a meeting with him to make sure he feels wanted. Not to mollycoddle him but if you can get him to deliver the whole team changes. He's that important. So I would be absolutely desperate to keep hold of him."

Hazard joined the West Londoners from French club Lille for £32m in 2012.
