John Obi Mikel labels Eden Hazard the 'LAZIEST footballer he has seen' as the former Chelsea star weighs in on the Belgian's bad training habits and love of food - but insists the Real Madrid star 'always produced' in big moments

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel has shone a light on his time at Stamford Bridge and given a rare insight into the training habits of ex-Blues star Eden Hazard.

Mikel and Hazard shared five trophy-laden years together at Stamford Bridge working under Jose Mourinho, Rafael Benitez, Guus Hiddink, and Antonio Conte with both leaving the club in 2017 and 2019 respectively.

However, Mikel has revealed that despite being a match-winner on the pitch, his Belgian team-mate was the 'laziest footballer he has seen in his life' but admitted he got away with it due to his standout performances on matchday.
