Hazard hails goalscoring impact of Chelsea pal Diego Costa

Eden Hazard has welcomed Diego Costa's impact at Chelsea.

His ability in front of goal will allow Hazard to concentrate on providing assists rather than scoring goals, according to the man himself.

Speaking about Costa and fellow new signing Cesc Fabregas to the London Evening Standard, Hazard said: "It's true they're the best players. Costa can score every game and Cesc is one of the best midfielders in the world.

"Cesc can score as well and make good assists, just like the first game against Burnley where he made a beautiful pass for Andre Schurrle. It's very important for the team and he can help us win.

"Last season I scored a lot of goals and maybe this season I can make a lot more passes forward because Costa is one of the best and he can score. It's my job to score but it's also my job to make assists as well."
