Eden Hazard is undoubtedly one of Europe’s best players when on song.

During his time at Chelsea, the Belgian has established himself as frightening attacker capable of bamboozling defenders and making things happen.

The Blues talisman will be acutely aware of how good a player he is, but he was very modest when asked about who currently playing the game he admires.

As well as name-dropping Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi and Luka Modric, Hazard then mentioned his ‘good friend’ Mo Salah of Liverpool – the pair having previously played tgether at Chelsea, of course.

The Egyptian is a similar player to Hazard, and the two are often compared to one another by fans.

In the eyes of the former Lille man, Salah is the player he actually aspires to be like.

In an interview with NBC Sports, he said (quoted by The Evening Standard): “He is doing something incredible since two years. I try to look at this player and try to reach that level.”

Salah has enjoyed a sensational stint at Liverpool following his move from AS Roma in the summer of 2017.

In 93 appearances for the Reds, he has plundered 64 goals and made 25 assists – a truly remarkable attacking output.
