Hazard urges Batshuayi to find playing time amid Chelsea interest in Llorente

Eden Hazard has urged his Chelsea and Belgium teammate Michy Batshuayi to find playing time -- even if it's away from Stamford Bridge -- if the club's reported move for Swansea's Fernando Llorente comes to fruition.

Chelsea are in advanced talks with Swansea over a deal for striker Llorente, sources close to the Welsh club have told ESPN FC.

The Premier League champions are yet to lodge a bid for the 32-year-old Spain striker, who played under Blues head coach Antonio Conte at Juventus.

But there is firm interest in a player who has one year remaining on his two-year contract with Swansea and turns 33 in February.
