​Chelsea star Hazard: I made right decision to reject Man Utd, Man City

Chelsea star Eden Hazard admits he had some doubts regarding his choice to join Chelsea in 2012.

Hazard was wanted by several top clubs in England, but opted for a move to the West London outfit instead.

He has won several major trophies with the Blues, vindicating his decision at the time.

Speaking about that decision in 2012, Hazard said to reporters: "I was a little bit scared when I first arrived. Didier Drogba had left and when you have Drogba in the team for sure you win a trophy.

"But at the end I played with top players.

"And if you look at my seven years at Chelsea we did ­something amazing together.

"We won trophies together and I am just happy. I had a chance to sign for Manchester United, Man City, Tottenham. But I made the right decision.

"I spoke with the owner and I had Drogba and Joe Cole on the phone telling me this was the best club."
