Maurizio Sarri has cranked up the Chelsea charm offensive aimed at keeping Eden Hazard at the club by insisting the Belgian can win everything by staying at Stamford Bridge.

And one Chelsea supporter has played his part by paying £7,000 to try to help the club convince Hazard to sign a new contract.

The fan, who wants to remain anonymous, has personally funded a 100x50ft banner, which reads ‘Eden Hazard we want you to stay’ and will be displayed during Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off against Manchester United.

Chelsea fanzine cfcuk was approached by the fan, who supplied the image of Hazard’s knee-slide celebration and the wording he wanted to be used, to organise the making of the banner that will be displayed in the Lower Matthew Harding Stand.

Hazard is waiting to see whether or not Real Madrid promise to make a big push to sign him next summer, before deciding whether or not to re-sign with Chelsea. He last week claimed that a move to Spain may help his chances of winning the Ballon d’Or, despite going into the United game on the back of eight goals in his last eight Blues appearances.
