Thorgan Hazard has hailed on-loan Chelsea ace Andreas Christensen
The-20-year-old, has made only one senior appearance for Chelsea since joining the club in 2014.
However, Hazard, has backed Christensen to take the Premier League by storm.
“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.
“We have a good relationship and we played also at Chelsea for a month. We played in the youth team and trained together, but I didn’t realise until he came here that he was so good.
“First he came here and nobody knew who he was. He came in here, at 19 years old and when he played in the first game, it was difficult because it was against Dortmund.
“The team lost and it was difficult for him because then he didn’t play for two or three games.
“He wasn’t like he is now, he is a developing talent.”
