Eden Hazard is the LeBron James of the Premier League, according to Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi.
Speaking at the NBA2K19 Gaming Tournament, the Nigeria international was asked which top-flight star most reminded him of the Basketball legend, to which he said:
I would say Hazard.
He’s dominating and has a had a very good season so far and he’s always a top performer.
The general consensus is that Hazard has been the leading performer in the Premier League so far this season, with his influence the key to Chelsea being in the title race.
Manchester City’s David Silva is running the Belgian close at this moment in time, as Hazard searches for his second PFA Player of the Year award.
The 27-year-old’s form has dipped slightly in recent weeks by his world-class standards, but he has a great opportunity to take centre stage on Saturday evening.
Chelsea head to Wembley Stadium for a crucial meeting with Tottenham, with both teams desperate to stay in touch with City at the top.
It was Hazard’s goal that famously ended Spurs’ chances of league glory back in 2015/16 and he will be hoping for a similar impact this weekend.
