Hazard could score 40 goals a season... if he played at Man City or Liverpool – Pearce

The Belgian's coach believes hitting the milestone is possible, but that is disputed by the former England defender

Eden Hazard has the potential to score 40 times in a season, according to ex-England international Stuart Pearce, but it will be impossible for him to do so at Chelsea.

The Belgium international winger has started the season in electric form for Maurizio Sarri’s men, netting five times in the Premier League already this term.

After scoring a treble on Saturday against Cardiff, Sarri instructed his player to net 40 times this season and win the Premier League Golden Boot.
