Zulte-Waregem loanee Hazard: I joined Chelsea to play with my brother!

Thorgan Hazard insists his dream of playing alongside his brother at the top level remains.

The 20-year old Belgian, on loan at Zulte-Waregem, joined Chelsea from Lens when older brother Eden did from Lille in 2012 and although he is still a way off the Blues first team, admits he would love to play next to 22-year old Stamford Bridge ace.

"When I joined Chelsea in 2012, I knew I wouldn't be a first team regular. I chose Chelsea because I hope to play in the same team as my brother Eden one day. It's my dream to play together," he told Sport Voetbal Magazine.

"We don't talk about our career whole the time - he doesn't give me good advice all the time. When we call each other we talk about other things, about family life.

"Then he tells me how his wife is doing, his two sons.

"Only when one of us has scored a beautiful goal, we chat about it. But he will never tell me: do this or do that."
