​Hazard and de Bruyne not on same level as Tottenham's Dembele

Mousa Dembele is more talented than Kevin De Bruyne and Eden Hazard, according to former Belgian international Wesley Sonck, reports the London Evening Standard.

The Tottenham midfielder is part of one of the most talented Belgium squads ever assembled, currently ranked the third best team in the world by Fifa.

"[Thomas] Vermaelen, [Jan] Vertonghen, [Anthony] Vanden Borre... But I insist: the greatest talent is Mousa Dembele," Sonck told HLN.

"Some may say they want Eden or De Bruyne, but Mousa has the most qualities – it's not normal how strong he is on the ball. I've seen him during training turn Kompany into a fool."
