Sarri's comments came after Chelsea's 4-1 win over Cardiff City, where the Belgian bagged himself a brilliant hat-trick.

Hazard's hat-trick meant that he now leads the goalscoring charts in the Premier League; with five in five for the winger.

"He can become maybe the best player in Europe in the next two years," Sarri claimed to Sky Sports.

"He will improve by spending less time a long way away from goal."

Big comments from Sarri, following a summer of uncertainty with Hazard, following a good World Cup for Belgium, with Real Madrid linked.
