Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Thorgan Hazard has heaped praise on Andreas Christensen.

The Denmark international could return to Chelsea in the summer when his loan spell is up.

"When he arrived everybody in the team and at the club were saying 'wow', what a defender, what a player," he told Goal.

"He can play football, he is strong, he is fast, he is intelligent and so he has helped us a lot and helped us get Champions League qualification.

"I think he has a great future and he can play at a top, top level at a top, top team. When a 19-year-old comes into defence like this and does this and I am very confident about his future."
