Chelsea's Eden Hazard could play at centre-forward - coach Maruizio Sarri

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has said he is happy that Eden Hazard is staying this season, adding that he could be tempted to use him as a striker.

Hazard has started the Sarri era at Stamford Bridge in blistering form, scoring seven goals in eight Premier League matches and winning the division's Player of the Month award for September.

Speaking after the 3-0 win at Southampton last weekend, Hazard said a move to Real Madrid would be a "dream" and he wants to "make it happen," but he has since ruled out the possibility of leaving in January.
