Glenn Hoddle, Tottenham Hotspur Legend, has opened up on the transfer speculation surrounding Chelsea star, Eden Hazard, claiming that the, "Belgian is irreplaceable for the Blues".

Hazard has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid in the summer, with the 28-year-old recently revealing that he is keen to play under his idol Zinedine Zidane in the future.

Hoddle, believes that Chelsea cannot afford to lose their talisman, as it would be disastrous for them if a player of his caliber leaves the club.

"If [Lionel] Messi hangs up his boots how do Barcelona replace him? Hazard is not in that category but how do Chelsea replace him, they can't. I don't see anyone out there who can do what Hazard does for Chelsea week in, week out. I can see him in a white shirt next season and really enjoying his football there," he said as quoted by Dailymail.

Hazard has once again been Chelsea's best player this season, scoring 16 goals in the Premier League. 90min
