'Legend!' - Excited Chelsea supporters react to Eden Hazard landing FIFA 20 cover

Chelsea fans have been sharing their love for Eden Hazard on Twitter after their former star was confirmed as being on the cover of the new FIFA 20 game.

Hazard departed Stamford Bridge for Los Blancos this summer, and has now been confirmed as the face of the standard version of the video game, with Liverpool's Virgil van Dijk on the cover of the champions edition.

“EA SPORTS FIFA is the biggest football game on the planet, and I have been playing it for years against my brothers,” the Belgium superstar said on being on the cover.

“I am lucky to have been on the cover before but to be on FIFA 20 globally is amazing and I hope to excite as many gamers as I do when I take the field for Real Madrid this season!”

But despite his move to Madrid, the 28-year-old, who made 245 appearances scoring 85 times for the Blues, is regarded as one of the club's all-time greats, and supporters were quick to sharing their congratulations on the social media site.
