Speaking on the Premier League’s YouTube channel, Youri Tielemans has been full of praise for reported Newcastle United target Eden Hazard.
Tielemans was playing a game where he had to craft a so-called ‘ultimate teammate’ taking attributes from a number of Belgian players to create the best possible footballer.
Inevitably, when it came to passing he chose Kevin De Bruyne, while Vincent Kompany was his defensive pick.
However, when it came to dribbling, Eden Hazard was Tielemans’ pick, narrowly edging out former Tottenham midfielder Mousa Dembele.
What’s been said?
Tielemans was full of praise for Hazard.
“You have a few but yeah for me it was Eden Hazard,” Tielemans said.
“Eden Hazard in his prime at Chelsea he was amazing to watch, he was one of those players that you’d go to the stadium to watch. Those two were amazing, but I would have to go for Eden Hazard.”
So entertaining
Hazard was undoubtedly one of the most entertaining players in the Premier League during his time at Chelsea, and there’s a chance he could be back in England before too long.
His time with Real Madrid, quite simply, hasn’t gone to plan, and there are reports that Newcastle could offer him a way back into English football.
Just imagine Hazard in a team completely built around him and his abilities, he would be a box-office attraction every single week.
Yes, he’s not as good as he once was, but we’re sure that almost everybody would love to see him back strutting his stuff in English football.
