Hazard: Joe Cole convinced me about Chelsea

Eden Hazard has revealed how Joe Cole convinced him to sign for Chelsea.

The pair played together when Cole was on loan at French side Lille from Liverpool, who he joined after seven years at Chelsea.

"He said to me before, when we were at Lille, "You have to be at Chelsea, because it is the right club for you,'' Hazard told Sky Sports.

"I said, 'Okay, Joe, okay, I will go!'"
