Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo is excited by the prospect of seeing Eden Hazard in a Blue shirt next season.
The Belgian turned down Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United to sign for the west Londoners from Lille and Di Matteo was quick to point out that Hazard is still only 21.
“He’s a wonderful player,” the Italian said.
“For his age, he’s achieved a lot. He’s been named Ligue 1 player of the season.
“We shouldn’t forget that he’s only 21. He’s a very exciting player and will bring a lot of creativity.”
