'Hazard has never enjoyed English football'
Chris Waddle thinks Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has never enjoyed playing in English football.
Hazard was the PFA Player of the Year in 2015 but his form has dipped drastically this season, amid rumours he is set to leave Stamford Bridge.
Waddle, who played in the French top flight for Marseille, said Hazard's performances remind him of Angel di Maria's, who struggled for form at Manchester United before moving to PSG.
Waddle said of Hazard: "Last year he put a shift in but I think he thinks, 'I can't do that again, it's not me running up and down that flank constantly defending'.”
The former England international continued: "It's too much leg work for them. They enjoy being in the other half.”
