EPL: Sarri reveals how many goals he told Hazard to score this season
Chelsea manager, Maurizio Sarri, has said that his star man, Eden Hazard will score 40 goals this season.
He also said he wants the Belgian to win the Golden Boot.
Hazard bagged a hat-trick against Cardiff City on Saturday and has been the star man as Chelsea have won their first five Premier League games.
He already has five goals to his name, three more than Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah
Salah won the Golden Boot last season and Sarri is backing Hazard to dethrone the Egyptian this campaign.
“I think so,” Sarri told BT Sport when asked if he thinks Hazard can score more than Salah, Harry Kane and Sergio Aguero.
“I talked with Eden [on Friday] and I told him that for me, he can score 40 goals. He has to improve something, but he can do it.”
Both Tottenham’s Harry Kane and Salah have had a slow start to the season in terms of goals.
Hazard currently leads the goal-scoring charts with five goals.
