Although much of the praise was reserved for Eden Hazard’s performance against Watford last night, Mateo Kovacic also put in another good display.
The Croatian international is on loan from Real Madrid until the end of the season, but there is no purchase option to buy the midfielder outright.
Some supporters on Twitter are hoping the club sign Kovacic permanently:
World class again Mateo! Sign a permanent deal with us ASAP! 🔥🔥🔥
