Leicester City defender Ritchie de Laet insists Eden Hazard won't suffer at Chelsea as Fernando Torres has.

De Laet, who left Manchester United for the Foxes last week, insists Lille ace Hazard can handle the pressure of playing for Chelsea.

He told VoetbalPrimeur: "Eden should not fear to do the same as Torres. He did incredibly well at Liverpool and was already a big name in England.

"At Chelsea he could not perform immediately and his performances were magnified. Every day he was in the paper and in large letters his transfer price was written. But Hazard does not need to be afraid. He comes from a different league, is still very young and has no experience in England. He will have time to find his niche."
