Sunderland winger Januzaj drawing inspiration from Chelsea ace Hazard

Sunderland loan winger Adnan Januzaj says he can draw inspiration from Chelsea ace Eden Hazard.

When Januzaj broke through at Manchester United, compatriot Eden Hazard was starting to establish himself as one of the brightest talents in the Premier League.

He has gone from strength to strength since then, flourishing this season in a free role at the heart of Antonio Conte's 5-3-2.

Januzaj has played some of his best football in a similar system and says he can learn from his friend and international team-mate.

He said: “I can learn from him. He has more experience than me. When you are playing against Chelsea there are more players who can make a difference so it's harder to track all of them. I watch a lot of games in the PL when I have free time and that's where I learn.

“He is a good friend to me. He is a top player. Whenever he has the ball he is dangerous.

“He is one of the best players in the PL, if not the best, he has so much talent now and I know him well."
