Eden Hazard would welcome Belgium teammate Christian Benteke to Chelsea. The Aston Villa striker is expected to leave over the summer.

With Didier Drogba departing, Chelsea are expected to move for a new striker - and Hazard hopes it is his countryman.

"If Christian signs with us, I would be the happiest man in the world," the PFA Player of the Year told reporters in Belgium.

"I have a great relationship with him and would like nothing better than to play with him. Christian is 25. He is at an age where he has to make a good career choice.

"Not that Aston Villa is a small club but he has already played many great games and can now play in the Champions League."
