The former Blues striker believes that the arrival of Hazard has had an immediate impact on the Champions League winners.

Drogba said: "They have started the season well, winning games and playing very good football.

"There's been a lot of new players and the older boys can help them adapt. It has been good and I am so pleased to see that.
