Chelsea head coach Maurizio Sarri is reportedly considering handing Eden Hazard the armband in an attempt to convince the Belgian to remain at Blues.
The future of 27 years old attacker remains up in the air with less than two years remaining on his contract and Real Madrid known to hold a long-standing interest.
The Telegraph says, Chelsea may look to tempt Hazard into staying at London club with the incentive of becoming the new captain, a role which is currently held by defender Gary Cahill.
