From the source

Romeo Lavia has hit top form at Chelsea this season, and Xabi Alonso may have Eden Hazard to thank. The Blues recently beat Manchester United 2-0 in the Premier League, with Lavia starring on the day.

In fact, for many, it was Lavia’s best performance in a Chelsea shirt. The midfielder is in constant contact with Hazard, who was at Stamford Bridge on Saturday to watch his compatriot and Chelsea defeat their rivals.

Hazard helped convince Lavia to join Chelsea from Southampton back in the summer of 2023. He did not just leave things there, though. Lavia has revealed that they speak quite often and that trying to make the Chelsea legend proud is giving him “extra motivation” in games.
