Losing Eden Hazard would be devastating for Chelsea, says former defender Mario Melchiot

Former Chelsea defender Mario Melchiot says losing Eden Hazard would be devastating for the club, and has urged the Blues to resolve the uncertainly over his future.

Hazard’s importance to the London club was highlighted once again on Monday night, with the Belgian ace scoring twice as the Blues got back to winning ways with a 3-0 victory over West Brom.

The 27-year-old still has two years left to run on his current contract, but Chelsea are reportedly willing to make him one of the Premier League’s best-paid players if he pens a new long-term deal with the club.
