Chelsea star, Eden Hazard has told the club to call off their hunt for a new striker.
The Premier League champions have been linked with big target men like West Ham’s Andy Carroll and Stoke City striker, Peter Crouch, this month.
But Hazard insists Chelsea can play beautiful football with smaller footballers like Manchester City.
“Who is the best team this year? Man City. The strikers, Jesus and Aguero, are not big. It’s simple. It depends how you want to play.
“If you want to play with long balls you need a target man, if you want to keep the ball on the floor you need a small guy. It depends how you want to play.
“When you see the second goal with Willian, it’s one of the best of the season because we create movement with one touch, one touch, and then the finishing is good. We want to do more like this.
“Football is simple – keep the ball on the ground and try [to play] like we did. I think we have two very good strikers in Alvaro and Michy.
“If they are not ready to play I can play striker, so I don’t think we need [another one].
“Because we are missing chances people are saying we need another striker, but if we are scoring goals we are the best attack in the league and no one can say we need a striker.
“It depends on the form of the team and I think we’re happy with the team we have,” Hazard said.
