CESC FABREGAS may have his working hard on the pitch down under, but he’s got his work cut out off it too as he attempts to sweet talk Eden Hazard into staying.
While Chelsea took a break from training at the prestigious WACA in Perth, the Spaniard told journalists that he chats to the Belgium star often as he wants him to stay at Stamford Bridge.

Fabregas rested during the World Cup so was called to training earlier than Hazard, who is reportedly using the extra time off to contemplate his future.
Following Belgium’s victory over England, Hazard said: “I will go on holiday and ask myself the right questions.
“After six wonderful years at Chelsea, it might be time to discover something different.”
But he could be testing the waters, just like his fellow Belgium international Marouane Fellaini did- before signing a contract that kept him in England

But Fabregas isn’t taking any chances and said: “I won’t lie, I speak to him often.
“He is the best player in the club and we need Chelsea to keep the best players.”
The Belgium winger found the back of the net 17 times for Chelsea last season, across all competitions, and is a fundamental part of their team.
Fabregas added: “He knows the fans love him and he’s a player we love to play with. For sure, we want him to stay.”
The pair have been team-mates for four years after Fabregas moved to Stamford Bridge in 2014 and it is clear the Spaniard wants Hazard to stick around in London.
But after an impressive performance during the World Cup, where he captained his country to third place, he has drawn attention to himself.
Even his national side’s manager Roberto Martinez said: “It could be the best time to try something different, he is a player who has maturity and a lot of leadership.
“His play is based on talent. He is at the best moment of his career. He could fit in any team in the world.”

The Belgium international is currently sunning himself in Marbella– leaving fans to speculate if he will pop to Madrid during his stay in Spain.
With Real Madrid a star down, after Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Juventus, and Neymar off the cards all eyes are on the 27-year-old.
Chelsea released their new kit for the upcoming season and Hazard featured prominently in the campaign.
But will he still be around to play in the kit next season?
