The Chelsea forward Eden Hazard said he would be delighted if his Belgium team-mate Christian Benteke were to join him at Stamford Bridge.
Benteke, 25, has been touted for a move away from Aston Villa this summer after a superb run of form towards the end of the season under the new boss Tim Sherwood.
And also said with Didier Drogba leaving the club, Benteke could fit the mould perfectly as an alternative for Diego Costa.

Benteke the Belgium star, who has scored 49 goals in 99 games for Villa since joining the club in 2012, reportedly has a £32.5million buyout clause and is hoping to join a club playing in Europe.
'If Christian signs with us, I would be the happiest man in the world,' said Hazard.
'I have a great relationship with him and would like nothing better than to play with him. Christian is 25. He is at an age where he has to make a good career choice.
'Not that Aston Villa is a small club but he has already played many great games and can now play in the Champions League.
