Chelsea need Hazard at his best more than new signings, says Leboeuf

EXCLUSIVE

Frank Leboeuf believes recovering the form of Eden Hazard will be more important in turning around Chelsea's fortunes than new signings.

Chelsea and Hazard both went through unimaginably bad seasons in 2015-16, with the Stamford Bridge club recording the worst ever Premier League title defence and the attacker suffering a 356 day goal drought in the league.

The 25-year-old has turned his focus to Euro 2016 and will captain Belgium, and Leboeuf feels he can still be as crucial to Chelsea as it is to his country.

"First they need some leaders and the first guy I think about is Eden Hazard," Leboeuf told Goal.
