Thorgan Hazard did not think he would break through at Chelsea and be given a chance in the Premier League, even when he first joined the club.
Hazard, 23, was signed from Lens in 2012 but left to join Borussia Monchengladbach three years later without making a first-team appearance.
Since moving to the Bundesliga, Hazard has become a regular for club and country, an opportunity he doesn't believe he would have got at Chelsea.
"I knew I would not stay at Chelsea when I signed for them," Hazard told Het Nieuwsblad.
