Contrasting Raheem Sterling's Man City record and Hazard's at Chelsea
Chelsea have marked Raheem Sterling from Manchester City - however can the England worldwide continue in the strides of Blues legend Eden Hazard?
Thomas Tuchel has driven Chelsea to the Champions League since Hazard withdrew the club quite a while back, yet there stays a contention that they actually haven't satisfactorily supplanted the Belgian.
They most likely picked the perfect opportunity to trade out, given Hazard's issues with wounds and structure at Real Madrid, yet the club have neglected to reinvest the £103million got into an aggressor that gives a similar danger.
Midfield man Mason Mount was their top scorer in the Premier League last term with 11 objectives, while the year prior to that it was Jorginho with only seven.
Initiates like Christian Pulisic, Kai Havertz, Hakim Ziyech and Timo Werner have all had their minutes, yet none have had the option to give the very steady going after danger that Hazard used to.
Danger scored more than 100 objectives for Chelsea during his seven-year spell at Stamford Bridge. He assumed a crucial part in two Premier League title wins, procuring the FWA Footballer of the Year and the PFA Players' Player of the Year in the process in 2014-15 preceding delivering seemingly the best football of his vocation under Antonio Conte in 2016-17.
A player like that was continuously going to be challenging to supplant, yet after three years have they found the ideal fit in Raheem Sterling?
Real came out on top for four Premier League championships, five League Cups and one FA Cup during his seven-year spell at Manchester City.
He showed up for the club than Hazard did at Chelsea, however enlisted more objectives and more helps, all while taking less punishments.
Having said that, Sterling was only one of various capable going after hotshots in Pep Guardiola's all-vanquishing side, while Hazard at Chelsea was all the more a champion player in a side that didn't exactly overwhelm the English football scene in a similar way.
"As far as I might be concerned, he is an enormous player, with a tremendous impact somewhat recently in English football and he's in an ideal age to now assume liability around youthful players that we have and be a model," Tuchel told the BBC.
"Getting what he conveyed for a really long time given his age, his yearn for liability, and his style of play and his measure of power is exceptional. It is the benchmark in the Premier League and is precisely exact thing we really want."
Be that as it may, can Sterling overshadowing Hazard's accomplishments and effect at Chelsea? We've investigated their records.
