According to Sacha Tavolieri, former Chelsea star Eden Hazard played a huge role in Romeo Lavia’s decision to join Chelsea over Liverpool.
The Belgian journalist revealed that Hazard spoke to Lavia about moving to Stamford Bridge.
Tavolieri believes the Belgium international told the 19-year-old about what life at Chelsea is like, and also answered some informal questions from the teenager about the move.
Whatever Hazard told Lavia about Chelsea seems to have worked as the 19 year old Belgium international is only keen on joining Chelsea despite interest from Liverpool.
It is believed Chelsea are now close to reaching an agreement with Southampton for the transfer of Lavia.
