Chelsea coach Gianfranco Zola has challenged Eden Hazard to take his game to a new level.

In the 2002/03 campaign, Zola contributed 14 goals and seven assists in 38 Premier League games, while Belgian attacker Hazard's most productive season in 2016/17 produced 16 goals and five assists.

And Zola is urging the 28-year-old, who currently has 12 goals and 11 assists to his name in 2018/19, to go on and achieve a personal-best campaign between now and the end of the season.

"He is a fantastic player, extremely good," said Zola to Sky Sports. "He has unbelievable potential and it seems to me that he is getting better and better each season.

"It is a pleasure to be on the bench and see him playing for you, as he is one of those players who makes things happen.

"I am pleased he is going to be breaking the previous best stats records in the club, but I am not surprised as I see what he can do."
