Chelsea manager Sarri: I will not persuade Hazard

Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri says he will not persuade Eden Hazard to remain at the club.

The Belgian, who is out of contract in 2020, has alarmed the club after admitting in a documentary released this week that he had made a decision over his future.

Hazard said he will reveal his decision soon, but Sarri has refused to get involved.

He said: "I speak every day with Eden, but I speak with Eden about his position on the pitch, not about (his future).

"I will be really very happy with him if he will want to stay, because in my opinion he's the best in Europe. But it's up to him, I think. I want to see him happy. And so, he has to decide."
