Chelsea ace Hazard: Higuain and I can be great together

Chelsea ace Eden Hazard admits he's enjoying the early progress of his attacking partnership with Gonzalo Higuain.

Last month Sarri brought in Higuain on loan from Juventus to free some of the weight on Hazard's shoulders.

Hazard told The Times: “When we have the ball, we have a lot of freedom, not just me but the striker and the right [attacker] Willian or Pedro, so we can move a lot.

“I've only played two games with Higuain and I know we can do something great together, not only with him but also with the other strikers, the other winger.

Chelsea is not about Higuain and Hazard, it is about 25 players. But Higuain is a fantastic striker.

"He needs to adapt a bit to English football because it is different to Spain and Italy. “Higuain has a lot of experience. He's scored everywhere. He's a nice guy, quiet. But he will score goals, for sure."
