Pedro: Hazard is Chelsea's star but Morata is very good

The Blues forward acknowledges that Maurizio Sarri's side lean heavily on their Belgian playmaker, but has also talked up the qualities of others

Pedro acknowledges that Eden Hazard is “the most important player” at Chelsea and the club’s undisputed “star”, but he also considers Alvaro Morata to be a “very good” option.

The Blues have often relied on their Belgium international forward for attacking inspiration, with his consistency helping to counter the unreliable form of others.

Hazard has stepped up into the role of talisman again this season, contributing seven goals and four assists across 10 Premier League appearances, with his efforts helping to keep Chelsea unbeaten.
