Eden Hazard joined a dressing-room full of legends when he moved to Chelsea five years ago, but, with John Terry set to bring the final curtain down on the club’s golden oldies, the Belgian believes it is time for the new generation to take on the world.

Terry is the last man standing from the days of Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Petr Cech when Chelsea won back-to-back Premier League titles, the Champions League and also completed a League and Cup double in 2010.

Chelsea have the chance to emulate the 2010 side by beating Arsenal at Wembley and adding the FA Cup to this season’s Premier League title.

Terry will leave the club after Saturday, but, suggesting he will stay at Chelsea past this season, Hazard believes he is one of a fresh band of leaders ready to fire the club into a new era of success.

Chelsea are confident Hazard will sign a new £300,000-a-week contract after holding positive talks with the 26-year-old over his future, during which he was told that he has the talent and the opportunity to create his own Stamford Bridge dynasty.
