Eden Hazard has spent the last seven years at Chelsea, and apparently, he seems ready to turn the page.
The Belgian had a massive influence in the outcome of the game between Chelsea and Arsenal, scoring two goals and handing out one assist for the Blues' Europa League triumph. Nevertheless, this will be a bitter-sweet evening for Chelsea fans, as he has all but confirmed his intention to leave the club this summer.
Hazard has been linked to Real Madrid for the better part of 2019, and now, the footballer confirmed his intention to leave the club in a post-match interview.
