Arsenal legend Wright questions if Chelsea signing Hazard can match hype

Arsenal legend Ian Wright has questioned whether Chelsea signing Eden Hazard can live up to the hype. Wright wrote in The Sun: "When you consider how much talking he has done, the £32million CHELSEA signing is clearly not shy.

"Hopefully, he will prove his ability matches his confidence.

"Compared to other summers, there has been a fair amount of activity in the transfer market with Hazard the most costly signing.

"The Belgian midfielder is definitely a good prospect, but clubs now find themselves spending a lot of money for young players who have yet to reach the very top of their profession.

"I have seen Hazard play for Lille in the French League and he has been OK - but I have yet to be totally convinced."
