PSG boss Blanc: Chelsea's Hazard has a 'very bright future'

Paris Saint-Germain manager Laurent Blanc believes Eden Hazard has a very bright future at Chelsea.

The 23-year old Belgian attacking midfielder has gone to the next level since joining the Blues from Lille in 2012 and Blanc is of the belief that he will continue to take his game to a world-class standard.

"In France we know Eden really well," Blanc said ahead of PSG's Champions League clash with Chelsea on Wednesday night.

"We always thought he was very impressive in a one-vs-one situation and how fast he is on his feet and his movement.

"Since he got to Chelsea he has scored more and more goals, creates many dangerous opportunities and I've also noticed that when Chelsea is in a difficult period of the game, he has the freedom to go everywhere in trying to bring the team up.

"He's still very young, he has a lot of room for development and I foresee a very bright future."
