Chelsea news: Maurizio Sarri urges board to end Eden Hazard uncertainty
Eden Hazard’s Chelsea future needs to be sorted as the club’s future planning is at risk due to the uncertainty of the situation, says Maurizio Sarri.Chelsea are prepared to pay Hazard in excess of 300,000-per-week to remain at the club but he is biding his time as he awaits to see the direction in which the Blues will head in both league position and transfer signings.2

Eden Hazard’s Chelsea contract expires in 2020

The Belgian’s contractcontract expires in the summer of 2020 and he has continuously been linked with a move to Real Madrid.“I don’t know but I think it is time to decide,” said Sarri when quizzed about a new deal for Hazard.“I have not the power to do this. I am the coach. I am not the president and not in charge of the market. I only speak to him about the position on the pitch.“I think we have to solve the problem if we want to programme the future.”Hazard underlined his importance to Chelsea again on Boxing Day, netting twice in a 2-1 win at Watford and scoring his 100th and 101st goals for the club in the process.Expressing his desire to become a club legend like John Terry, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba, Hazard has also stressed he wants to play as a winger rather than a false nine, a role he has occupied in the last four league matches.2

But Sarri is pleased with him in that position: “I am really very happy with him in this position, because he is very able to score, first of all, very able to open spaces for team-mates, very able to come to play with team-mates.“I am happy with him in this role. I don’t know if he prefers to play as a winger, but if he is able to play like in the last match in the centre, for me it’s not a problem to put him in the centre.“I cannot see the problem of Hazard in this role: he played four matches and scored three goals and made two assists.“I think in this moment we need to be solid, and with Hazard in this position I think we can become more solid. It’s a good option also in the defensive phase. It depends on the moment, maybe in the future we will be able to play with a striker and Hazard together.” Chelsea’s next match is again away, against Crystal Palace on Sunday lunchtime.The Blues will be missing Spain forward Pedro and could also be without Callum Hudson-Odoi.Both players were withdrawn against Watford due to hamstring injuries.“We have two problems; most serious with Pedro, who has an injury in his hamstring that I think he will have to rest for about 10 days,” said Sarri.“With Hudson-Odoi, it’s not a very serious problem but I don’t know if he will be able to play the next match.”
