‘Grealish can be Hazard’s replacement at Chelsea’ – Blues legend backs raid on Aston Villa

Alan Hudson feels an England hopeful on the books of a Premier League rival is the perfect option to bring a creative spark back to Stamford Bridge

Jack Grealish is the man to fill a creative void that Chelsea have failed to address since Eden Hazard departed Stamford Bridge, says Blues legend Alan Hudson.

A Belgian playmaker swapped west London for Real Madrid during the summer transfer window of 2019.

At the time, Chelsea were prevented from dipping into the market for a suitable replacement by a two-window recruitment embargo, but that has since been lifted, with Frank Lampard able to bolster his ranks as he sees fit.
