Former Blue Micheal Essien believes the only way for Eden Hazard to win the Ballon d’Or is to sign for Real Madrid.

On the back of Essien pleading to Chelsea to tie Hazard down with a new contract, he also said the only way he see’s Eden taking the prize is to takes an offer from Real.

Can’t have it both ways.

Hazard was voted the 19th best player in football during Thursday’s Ballon d’Or voting reveal, behind N’Golo Kante and Premier League rivals Kevin De Bruyne and Harry Kane.

Essien feels the Belgian could win the prize if he succumbs to Real Madrid’s interest.

“He could go to Real Madrid to win the Balon d’Or easier. When we talk about Eden, he is such a good player.

“He’s very quick, very good on the ball. He’s very strong, he may be little but he is strong, trust me! It is hard to get the ball off him.

“He’s such a good player and we’re happy to have him at Chelsea but I’d understand why Madrid would be looking at him. He is proving it week in, week out.”
