He told the podcast, "One thing we forget about Eden Hazard, because we've known it for so long, is that it's detrimental to the devastating blow it will be, not only to Chelsea but to the Premier League.
"I think it's the biggest loss of a player since Cristiano Ronaldo left Manchester United for Real Madrid. I think he has this talent.
"Hazard is the best single player in the Premier League. He is so influential for Chelsea. When he receives the ball, even in the most mundane matches, he can brighten the opportunity and he looks like he is slipping on the pitch. He is a great player and it will be a blow for Chelsea.
"It will make the club fall and it will have a deflating and destabilizing effect in many ways. It is clear that Hazard has his eyes riveted on Real Madrid and that it is a devastating blow to the Premier League and that we will miss him for the next two or three years. "

Another reporter, Matt Law, said Chelsea was afraid of the impending ban because it would make them lose their mind, especially after Hazard's move.
The Daily Telegraph football correspondent said: "The biggest problem is the force of the strike. They have enough players elsewhere. Kurt Zouma can return from his loan to increase the numbers of the defense. Reece James has had a wonderful season on loan at Wigan – he may not start next season, but he can increase the number back. Midfielders are coming off their ears with Mason Mount and Ruben Loftus-Cheek coming back from injury.

"But they do not have strikers. They do not want to sign Gonzalo Higuain and the prospect of starting next season without Eden Hazard, who scored 20 goals last season for the first time this season, and starts a season in the Champions League with Olivier Giroud, Michy Batshuayi and Tammy. Abraham at the front, with all due respect, is a rather frightening proposition.
"It's their biggest fear. If Higuain had done the deal or they had an attacker whom they could trust, I do not think they would also be afraid of that with the options they have. But the goal of the attackers is huge for them because they do not have any. "
