Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri believes Eden Hazard can win this season's golden boot award.

The Belgian bagged a hat-trick in Saturday's 4-1 rout of Cardiff City, making him the Premier League's top goalscorer with five goals.

"I think so," Sarri replied when asked if Hazard is capable of being the league's top scorer.

"I have talked with Eden yesterday and I told him that for me he can score 40 goals. He has to improve something but he can do it. If you saw the game today, you have to say yes!"
