Ballack: Hazard is accepting his superstar status as rumours continue to swirl

The Blues legend is impressed with the Belgian's start to the season but thinks work needs to be done to ensure he renews his contract

Michael Ballack has spelled out how Chelsea can lure Eden Hazard into renewing his contract at the club as his current deal runs into its last 18 months, with Real Madrid lurking.

Hazard has described a move to Madrid as a 'dream' but has also said that he would be happy if he stayed at Stamford Bridge, where his family are settled into London life and he leads the Premier League goalscoring charts.
