Dutch legend Patrick Kluivert has spoken highly of Chelsea ace Eden Hazard.

The pair played together for Lille before Hazard was sold to the Blues.

"I saw immediately that he was an exceptional talent," said Kluivert.

"Despite how young he was, Eden was an immediate matchwinner, in the best sense of the word. He was eager to learn.

"He wanted to know from me what it was like to really reach the top.

"He never dropped his head when an action failed, he continued to attack his direct opponents and play...

"He then moved to Chelsea, which filled me with pride."
