Chelsea star Eden Hazard has no intention of replacing John Terry as captain: 'I can talk with my feet but it is not my job to talk to everyone'

Eden Hazard does not believe he's the right man to replace John Terry as Chelsea captain when the veteran defender departs Stamford Bridge this summer.

Terry, who made his debut for the Blues in 1998, has announced that he will leave the club when his contract expires after falling out of favour under Antonio Conte.

Gary Cahill has taken the armband in the absence of Terry this term, but a new club captain will be appointed before the start of next season.
