Former Chelsea star aims cheeky swipe at Eden Hazard

Real Madrid’s Eden Hazard has been branded by ex-Chelsea team-mate John Obi Mikel as the “laziest player I have played with”. 

Although Hazard achieved his dream move to Real Madrid this past summer, the star forward has only managed to score one goal in the eleven appearances. Leading many to question the Belgium captain’s fitness since his big move to the Spanish capital. Including former team-mate, Jon Obi Mikel.

The pair where at Stamford Bridge together from 2012 to 2017, until Mikel’s move to Chinese side Tianjin TEDA F.C.
