Kepa Arrizabalaga makes big Eden Hazard claim as Chelsea star closes in on Real Madrid transfer

 

Chelsea goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga has stated that he believes Eden Hazard is the best player in the Premier League and almost on the same level as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Hazard is widely expected to leave Stamford Bridge this summer for Real Madrid, where he could become the heir to Ronaldo's crown in the Spanish capital, and his exit would leave a significant void in west London.
Kepa , who has played against both Messi and Ronaldo numerous times during his time at Athletic Bilbao, believes that Blues teammate Hazard is not far off of the five-time Ballon D'Or winning pair and is superior to all other players in English football.
"He can do everything. Mark, assist, play as a false nine, play on the left, on the right, he is very fast, powerful, great in one-on-ones, plays well coming from deep," he told Marca .

"He is, for me, the best player in the Premier League.
"I could not say [if he is on the same level of Messi and Ronaldo], but he is close. I put him among the five best in the world.

"He is a great player, and above all a great person. He is a guy that always boosts the dressing room. He's fun, quiet, and at 28 he's in a great personal and sporting situation, and it shows in the way he is playing."
