Eden Hazard makes open admission about Chelsea star

Eden Hazard has said that it was a “privilege” for him to play alongside John Terry for Chelsea.

The veteran captain pulled down the curtain on his glittering career with the Blues this season after opting to leave the club at the end of the campaign.

Terry has been one of Chelsea’s top players in recent seasons and will be remembered as one of the greatest stars to have ever played for the west London side.

Hazard played alongside Terry for five seasons following his arrival at Stamford Bridge from French side Lille back in 2012.

And the Belgian playmaker has revealed that he felt honoured to have lined up with the defender in recent years.

Speaking to Chelsea’s website, Hazard said: “It’s been a privilege for me to play with such a legend for five years and it was an emotional day for us all when JT played his last game and said goodbye to the fans.”
