That is the opinion of ESPN FC pundit and legendary Liverpool defender Steve Nicol.
Hazard has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid for the last few transfer windows.
Real were keen on the Belgian last summer until he broke his ankle while on international duty, which ruled him out of the start of this season.
Many pundits reckon Hazard will be on his way out of Chelsea come the end of this campaign.
But Nicol has gone against the grain and reckons the Blues cannot afford to let him go just yet.
The Scot has also questioned Hazard’s form of late.
“I think this is something that might happen but I don’t think it is something that happens anytime soon,” Nicol said.
“Chelsea can’t afford to let this guy go, he’s their best player.
“As much as I’m saying he’s their best player, I don’t think he’s at his best.
“So I don’t see it happening anytime soon. But I wouldn’t dismiss it.”
Eden Hazard has scored 13 goals in 34 appearances for Chelsea this season.
