Manchester United star Paul Pogba has admitted that Chelsea man Eden Hazard is ‘on fire’ ahead of the two teams’ meeting at Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Pogba spoke to Sky Sports as he previewed United’s trip to London. The Frenchman hailed Chelsea’s qualities and reserved particular praise for Hazard.
Belgium international Hazard has been a talismanic figure for the Blues throughout the opening stages of the campaign. The winger has netted eight goals in all competitions, contributing with a further three assists.
Hazard’s recent form has helped Chelsea get off to an unbeaten start in the Premier League and Maurizio Sarri’s men will be desperately hoping to continue in a similar fashion when United visit.
Pogba, who is set to line up in the centre of midfield for the Red Devils on Saturday, admitted that he feels Hazard is the best player in the Premier League at this moment in time.
One character you cannot miss is Eden Hazard. He’s on fire. He’s probably the best player in the Premier League right now. Everything is going well for them, they have good results.
