Eden Hazard is “too good” for Chelsea and has “outgrown” the club, says BBC Sport pundit Jermaine Jenas.
The former Tottenham midfielder described Hazard as “unplayable” during Chelsea’s 1-0 defeat by Spurs at Wembley in the Carabao Cup semi-final.
The Belgium midfielder, whose contract expires in June 2020, has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid.
And Jenas believes Hazard, 28, must now move from Chelsea to take the next step in his career.
“I thought he was unplayable at times,” said Jenas, on BBC Radio 5 live’s Football Daily podcast.
“I actually said [in commentary] that I think he is too good for Chelsea.
“Chelsea are obviously a top, top side but I think he has outgrown them. I think he has outgrown his position within that team.
“He needs to move on. He is above a level of everybody else that is around him.”
Hazard has won two Premier League titles in seven seasons at Chelsea, as well as the Europa League, FA Cup and League Cup.
The Belgium playmaker also helped his country reach the World Cup semi-finals in Russia last year, where he won the Silver Ball as the tournament’s second best player behind Croatia’s Luka Modric.
