The 29-year-old striker often praises Hazard and refers to the Belgium international as his brother.
“Hazard is a nice kid, you know, I like him. I’m five years older than him so for me he’s like my little brother, and I just want to take care of him,” Ba said in an interview with the Telegraph.
Ba recently invited Hazard as well as former Chelsea teammate John Terry to a charity dinner on 25 May 2015.
