Chelsea legend surprised by what Spurs star Heung-min Son said about him

Former Chelsea star Eden Hazard has been left surprised by what Heung-min Son once said about him.

Is Eden Hazard one of football’s biggest underachievers?

At his pomp, there weren’t too many players better to watch or more devastating than Eden Hazard. During his Chelsea days, he was one of the biggest stars in the Premier League.

The winger could win games on his own and was unstoppable when he turned it on, as Tottenham found out the hard way on several occasions.

However, the wide-man’s career nose-dived after his switch to Real Madrid, with the player eventually hanging up his boots last year at the age of just 32.

Reaction to Heung-min Son’s comments

At the Shoot for Love event, Hazard was informed that Son once named him the best footballer in the world, with the Belgian left quite surprised by that claim.

He was told: “Heung-min Son, once he was asked, who he thinks is the best footballer. He said ‘Eden Hazard’.”

Hazard responded: “Nah, really?!” The presenter then added: “He did really. You didn’t know about this?”

A surprised Hazard then stated: “There are so many better players than me. I am one of them – that’s really good. Nice to hear about it. Wow.”

Hazard a reference for many PL wide-forwards

It is not surprising that Son is a big admirer of Hazard, with the South Korean operating in the same position as the former Chelsea man.

Son and Tottenham were on the receiving end of plenty of world-class performances from the 33-year-old in the past.

One suspects that many wide players in the Premier League would look up to Hazard as he was undoubtedly one of the best in the world over his seven-year spell at Stamford Bridge.
