Eden Hazard may be forced out of Chelsea to pay for their poor start

Eden Hazard shouldn’t be sold to pay for Chelsea’s early season sins, but it’s a distinct possibility. The good news for the talented attacker is that there would be no shortage of excellent clubs ready to bid for his services.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and Hazard clearly aren’t getting along. When you have two such high-profile people at odds you are bound to see one of them shipped out. If I were a Chelsea fan I’d be hoping for a new manager, but that not be the case.

Instead, the club might choose to put Hazard out on the transfer market. They’d have the opportunity to receive a world-record transfer fee for him and it would send a strong signal to the rest of the squad that they better shape up or ship out.

If he does hit the market then every big club in the world will be after him. He’s one of the world’s most talented attackers and when he’s in-form he can score goals by the boatload. You can be sure that clubs bidding on Hazard wouldn’t be nearly as worried about his defensive work-rate as his current manager.

So read on to find out which clubs would be the best fit for Hazard if he were to leave Stamford Bridge.
