I've been singing to Hazard to make him stay at Chelsea - Loftus-Cheek

Ruben Loftus-Cheek has been singing the Stamford Bridge chant of "Eden Hazard, we want you to stay" to the Belgium international in the hope of persuading him not to join Real Madrid from Chelsea.

Hazard has informed Chelsea of what he plans to do at the end of the season and, with no agreement yet reached to extend his Blues contract beyond 2020, he is widely expected to complete a switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

The 28-year-old has spent seven seasons as a Chelsea player, winning two Premier League titles, the FA Cup, the Carabao Cup and the Europa League, but he said victory in this season's final and the promise of Champions League football next term would not be enough to keep him in west London.
