Eden Hazard left Chelsea for Real Madrid last summer after seven years at Stamford Bridge that saw him win two Premier League titles.
According to NBA star and Chelsea fan Larry Nance Jr, Hazard should have his legacy at Chelsea honoured with a statue outside Stamford Bridge.
“It’s impossible to deny that Hazard deserves a statue one day, he’s unbelievable,” Nance Jr. said, according to Daily Express.
“Seeing him go was one of those things that, being involved in sports, I understand.
“Even with basketball, we have a cap, so all teams must spend the same, but it’s not like that in football.
“Leaving Chelsea to go to Madrid, I get it… it’s a bigger pond – it’s a little sad, but at the same time I respect his decision.
“Same with Thibaut, I’m pretty sure his family was in Madrid so that’s where he wanted to go, so I get that.”
