Hazard left Lille for Stamford Bridge in a deal worth £32 million in 2012 and Rudi Garcia - coach of the Ligue 1 club at the time - claimed that a phone call from owner Roman Abramovich persuaded the forward to join the Blues. However, Hazard has now insisted that was not the case, instead revealing that Drogba convinced him to snub rival interest from Manchester United and link up with the Blues. "I didn't want to go to Chelsea because I wanted to play the Champions League and they were sixth in the league," Hazard told the Daily Mirror. "I was convinced when they won the Champions League in 2012. "At the time, Roberto Di Matteo really wanted me, they had Juan Mata, and Oscar had been bought. I was told: 'You'll see, Chelsea will play football'. "Gervinho called me and said: 'Someone's on the phone'. I didn't know who it was but it was Drogba, he wanted me to sign. "I was flattered, he was maybe the best striker in the world. In my head, I wasn't going to sign, but in the end I was very pleased with my choice. I didn't speak to Abramovich. "I don't know why coach Garcia wrote that in his book." Hazard has won the Premier League, League Cup and Europa League since his arrival from Lille. http://www.koolcrib.com/2015/05/hazard-drogba-convinced-me-to-join.html |
