Eden Hazard has hailed Sergio Ramos as “one of the best defenders in history” as Chelsea continue to be among the potential suitors for the Spanish defender.
Eden Hazard said: “I wish him the best. We were together for two years. He is a leader. He is one of the best defenders in football’s history,” the 30-year-old winger continued, in-awe of his former teammate. I hope he carries on enjoying it.”
Hazard added that he would one day like to play alongside the five time La Liga champion again, amid reports claiming Chelsea have made Ramos an offer.
Eden Hazard added: “I would have liked to have kept playing with him. He still has many goals to score.”
Ramos is also being monitored by Paris Saint Germain, Thomas Tuchel’s former side, who initially offered the Spaniard a one-year deal rather than a two-year deal, report L’Equipe. With Ramos in the same position Silva was in when he initially joined the Blues, Chelsea fans can take great pleasure when looking back at Marina Granoskaia’s comments regarding the Brazilian’s arrival. Speaking to the Chelsea website in 2020, the Chelsea director lauded Silva’s experience and quality.
Marina Granovskaia said: “We are delighted to be able to add a player of Thiago Silva’s proven world-class credentials to our squad.”
Granovskaia continued by highlighting Silva’s qualities, which can be likened to that of Ramos.
Marina Granovsika said: “Having performed at the highest level for many years. We have no doubt his experience and quality will complement the many exciting talents we already have here. Thiago will be an excellent fit and we hope he can add some new trophies to his impressive list of honours”
