No guarantees Eden Hazard will be staying, admits Antonio Conte

Everton v Chelsea: Antonio Conte has admitted he cannot guarantee Eden Hazard will be a Chelsea player next season, amid persistent interest from Real Madrid.

Belgium playmaker Hazard has hit 15 Premier League goals this term to drag Chelsea to the brink of the title. The 26-year-old has flourished under the taskmaster Italian after a dismal campaign last term, being branded by fans one of the “rats” partly responsible for Jose Mourinho’s sacking.

Hazard’s resurgence has Real on high alert, but Conte still believes Chelsea do not want to sell and the Belgian himself is content with life at Stamford Bridge.
