Eden Hazard will be considered a legend at Chelsea, who will find it impossible to directly replace the Belgian, according to former Blues striker Didier Drogba. Hazard left Chelsea earlier this month, making a long-awaited move to La Liga giants Real Madrid in a deal that could rise to €140million (£125m/$160m). The 28-year-old departed Stamford Bridge having scored 21 goals across all competitions last season, helping Chelsea to a third-placed Premier League finish and the Europa League title. In total he scored 110 goals in 352 appearances, winning two Premier League titles, one FA Cup, one EFL Cup and two Europa League titles. However, Hazard's departure has come at a difficult time for the Blues, who are currently appealing a transfer ban which would prohibit them from signing players for the next two windows. Christian Pulisic was brought in from Borussia Dortmund in January before being loaned back to the Bundesliga side for the remainder of the campaign. He ...

My right leg was no longer with me...the leather belt which attached it to my body had broken under the strain, and the leg, the Spitfire, and I had all parted company.

Sky in Italy understand that, while Chelsea and Juventus have agreed the details of Sarri's move to Turin, he will not be confirmed until the Premier League club have finalised plans for his replacement, who they hope will be Lampard.

Other managers have been linked with the role, but it is understood Lampard is now Chelsea's top choice to replace the outgoing Italian. Massimiliano Allegri, who had been touted as a potential can...
