Hazard: De Bruyne needs a move

Eden Hazard believes fellow Belgium forward Kevin De Bruyne would benefit from leaving Chelsea in January to boost his World Cup hopes.De Bruyne spent his first 18 months as a Chelsea player on loan, first and Genk and then at Werder Bremen, and has been linked with a return to the Bundesliga after finding opportunities tough to come by at Stamford Bridge under Jose Mourinho.Hazard thinks De Bruyne should seek first-team football elsewhere, although was not specific over whether his team-mate should seek a permanent switch or another loan move."For sure, playing at a World Cup without having been in action for a year, I think that's very difficult," Hazard told Belgian broadcaster VRT. "I think for him that leaving and playing, that would be good."If we want to get the best out of Kevin, I think that it's best if he leaves."
