'I certainly won't be throwing Hazard comparisons' - Lampard insists no single Chelsea player can replace Belgian star

Frank Lampard insisted that Chelsea haven't found a like-for-like replacement for Eden Hazard this summer despite spending almost £220 million ($275m) in the transfer market.

Since Hazard joined Madrid for £88m ($115m) in 2019, Chelsea have signed a host of attacking talent that includes Christian Pulisic, Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz.

Hazard was seen as the club's talisman and scored 110 goals while also delivering a further 92 assists over his seven-year spell at the club. Lampard believes that despite all the money his side have invested, Hazard's sheer quality may be impossible for one player to replace.
