Tottenham rinsed! Chelsea legend Eden Hazard refuses to accept Spurs are better than the Blues despite chasm between Premier League positions

The Blues legend, while speaking to former colleague John Obi Mikel on his podcast, admitted that clubs like Manchester City and Liverpool are currently performing better than Chelsea but dismissed Tottenham Hotspur's name.

Speaking on The Obi One Podcast, Hazard said, "But the Premier League is so hard. You see now, I think, Manchester City, they are better than Chelsea. You see Liverpool, they are better than Chelsea."

Obi Mikel then briefly interrupted the Belgian to bring up Tottenham's name to which he mockingly replied, "No, no, Tottenham no. They play good football, yeah but you know Tottenham. As a Chelsea legend, you can't say that man."

The Nigerian then stated, "I'm not saying they gonna win the league though. For sure, they are not going to win the league."

Since Todd Boehly took the reins from Roman Abramovich ahead of the 2022/23 season, Chelsea have seen their performance go downhill. Despite spending close to £1 billion (€1.1 billion) to set up the squad, the Blues did not see much success in the past one and a half years. After finishing 12th in the 2022/23 campaign, they currently find themselves 10 in the Premier League, 12 points behind fifth-placed Tottenham.

Mauricio Pochettino's side, who held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw in the last game week, will be next seen in action in the final of the Carabao Cup against Liverpool on Sunday.
