Waching daily Dec 30 2018

That's according to Belgium manager Roberto Martinez who was speaking two days before the January transfer window opens.

Hazard has been heavily linked with a move to European champions Real Madrid.. But he is having a strong season at the Blues since new boss Maurizio Sarri's summer arrival.

Chelsea returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace earlier this afternoon.

The former Lille star was unable to add to his 10 Premier League goals but looked threatening throughout.

Martinez, who coaches Hazard at international level, believes the forward will make an informed decision on his next move.

He is a person who is always guided by his intuition," the former Everton boss told RTVE.

He is not a player has who unrealistic ambitions.. "He left Belgium very young because he wanted to be a footballer, and from there he has achieved things with clubs that are not normal.

Hazard is ready to take on any project worldwide.. "My advice to him is to be happy and follow your intuition."

N'Golo Kante grabbed Chelsea's winner at Selhurst Park, taking his total number of goals for the season to three.

But after the game, Sarri insisted that Kante's priority must be defending rather than attacking.

Sarri said: "He has to think about the defence first of all. Then he is improving, especially in movements without the ball.

His movement today was really very good and was done with the right timing.. "When we have to play against opponents who are very low, it's difficult for the striker and wingers to find space.

So for us the midfielders' movement without the ball is very important.". Get Chelsea latest news updates directly to your inbox Subscribe Thank you for subscribing
