Chelsea coach Joe Cole is confident Eden Hazard will resist interest from Real Madrid this summer.

Chelsea are set for a huge fight to keep key forward Hazard come the end of the season.

But Cole told Sky Sports: “I don't want to think about [Hazard leaving].

“I think after today's performance [against Liverpool], he was brilliant, the way he brings players involved in the game, the chances he had, he was unlucky today.

“But yeah I think they have to keep him, I think it's a must.

“I don't see why he would want to leave to be honest.

“I think the club loves him, he loves the club but whether it's to Real Madrid, the club that he loves, with the manager he loves in Zidane.

“So yeah it's going to be difficult to keep him but for me I hope he stays and I think he will stay to be honest."
