Hazard is not a leader – Sarri

The Chelsea boss insists that Hazard is more of an individual talent than a team player, calling into question his credentials as a potential captain

Maurizio Sarri has praised Eden Hazard's qualities as a great footballer, but says that the Chelsea star is 'not a leader'.

Sarri hit the headlines last week for publicly chastising his squad after a 2-0 loss to Arsenal, claiming that his players are 'very difficult to motivate' and that they perhaps shouldn't be playing at the highest level.

The Italian then went on to say that a new player, or even an 'old head', could be the answer to turning the Blues' fortunes, suggesting that the club lack leadership.
