'I still love him' - Reece James hopes to see Hazard return to Chelsea

  /  Wyp1993

Chelsea defender Reece James said he wants to see Eden Hazard back at the club in an interview.

James, who has been part of Frank Lampard’s squad this season, rarely shared the dressing room with the Belgian winger.

James spent last season on a loan spell at Wigan and, by the time he joined Chelsea senior team last summer, Hazard had completed his transfer to Real Madrid.

But having been at Chelsea since the age of six, he witnessed how vital Hazard was for the West London outfit since his arrival from Lille in 2012.

Unsurprisingly, when asked to name one former Chelsea player he would bring back to Chelsea, James said in an interview: “Eden Hazard. I just loved the way he played.

“I still love him. He'll go down as one of Chelsea's best players ever.”
