EDEN HAZ THE LOT SAYS PED

EDEN HAZARD fully deserves to be bracketed alongside Lionel Messi as one of the best players in the world.

That is the view of his Chelsea colleague Pedro, who has had the privilege of playing alongside both brilliant forwards. Pedro was a product of Barcelona’s famous La Masia academy and spent eight years in the first team with Messi.

Then Pedro moved to Chelsea in 2015 to team up with Belgian World Cup star Hazard (left).

Pedro said: “It is obvious that Eden Hazard is one of the best three or four players in the world with Leo, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Neymar.

“He is a big star. It is very good for us that Eden is in such good form. He dribbles, he scores goals, and he doesn’t lose the ball.”
