Hazard heaps praise on Tielemans

Chelsea star Eden Hazard has heaped the praise on his Belgium team-mate and Leicester City midfielder Youri Tielemans.

Tielemans joined the Foxes in January on a loan deal from French Ligue 1 side AS Monaco and has impressed in his brief spell in the Premier League thus far.

Hazard and Tielemans both featured for Belgium in their victory over Russia on Thursday evening - with both scoring for the 2018 World Cup's third-place team.

The 21-year-old has quickly become a huge fan favourite at the King Power Stadium and Brendan Rodgers will surely be interested in bringing the young midfielder in on a permanent basis in the summer.

Hazard said on his Belgium team-mate, as quoted by the Leicester Mercury:

"I can only compliment him. He is a real leader in the field. He is still young. He has everything to become a big player."
