Liverpool midfielder Raheem Sterling admits he's a big fan of Chelsea star Eden Hazard.

Sterling refused to answer who the toughest defender he has ever played against is, but revealed that Hazard's "ridiculous" ability makes him the best opponent he's come up against on the pitch.

"That defender question has got me in trouble before," he told Sport magazine.

"Eden Hazard's the best player I've played against, though. He's ridiculous."
