The 26-year-old has scored 11 goals in 26 Premier League games and Wilkins has claimed that he is now among the top-five players in the world.
He added: “It looks a very good front page, but that’s about as far as it goes.”
“For Chelsea to lose Hazard, who is one of the five best players on the planet, they would have to replace this guy and he is irreplaceable at this moment in time.”
“He’s a wonderfully gifted footballer and why would Chelsea want to give him up? I don’t see there’s any money out there. Roman Abramovich has an enormous amount of money himself.”
“I couldn’t give a monkey’s what they offer. Chelsea wish to be the best club on the planet and they’re heading in the right direction.”
“What they’ve done over the past 10-12 years has been nothing short of phenomenal, so if you want to be the best why sell the best? They’ll never get there if they sell Eden Hazard, who has been absolutely brilliant.”
