Arsenal boss Emery: Hazard and Salah in top 5 in world

Arsenal boss Unai Emery rates Chelsea ace Eden Hazard and Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah in the top five best players in the world.

For tonight's Europa League final, Hazard could well be plying his final game for the Blues ahead of an expected move to Real Madrid.

"Hazard is a player of instants, but decisive instants. It is what we have to avoid," Emery told El Mundo prior to the final.

"Chelsea is capable of winning thanks to them, and that ability I have only seen in (Lionel) Messi, Cristiano (Ronaldo), Neymar or (Mohamed) Salah. For me, it is the quintet of the best in the world."
