Chelsea will miss Eden Hazard as much as Arsenal missed Thierry Henry, claims Tony Cascarino
Tony Cascarino has compared Eden Hazards potential Chelsea departure to Thierry Henrys move away from Arsenal.Hazard reminded the Blues what they will be missing if he leaves for Real Madrid this summer with a breathtaking display during the 2-0 victory over West Ham on Monday night.The Belgian waltzed through the Hammers’ defence to score a wonderful solo goal, before doubling his tally with a fine strike late-on.It was the kind of match-winning individualism that Stamford Bridge has become used to. After all, Hazard has been directly involved in 49 per cent of the clubs Premier League goals this season.2

Hazard was unstoppable against West Ham

But Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has admitted there is very little he can do to stop the 28-year-old from moving to Madrid if his heart is set on the Bernabeu.Arsenal were equally powerless when Barcelona came knocking for club legend Henry in 2007, which signalled the beginning of a prolonged period of mediocrity for the Gunners.And former Blues striker Cascarino, who expects Hazard to leave this summer, believes the potential move could have a similar effect. It will be as big a loss to a team as Thierry Henry was when he left to go to Barcelona,” he told talkSPORT.He [Hazard] is up there with the very best. If he gets you from a standing start and he stops, youre in trouble. There arent many players I can say that about.He goes from zero to 50 in a split second, then hes gone. Hell go either way. How many players can go either way?2

Henery’s departure hit Arsenal hard

You know hes going to beat you. Take the first goal last night, theres not much that any defender could do about that. The speed, acceleration, ability if you go near him, you know its going to be a penalty.He is just a very talented boy.I do think hell leave this summer, its a consequence of his contract running down. [Zinendine] Zidane was his hero, so he will want to taste pastures new.

Hazard, who has spent seven successful years in west London, has always remained open about his dream of playing for Madrid one day.And Cascarino argues its fair enough for a player of his calibre to challenge himself at the top level.At least were not seeing a player down tools, he added.Were seeing a player play the best football he can.
