EPL: Hazard sends message to Chelsea's Pulisic

Real Madrid forward, Eden Hazard, has backed Chelsea attacking midfielder, Christian Pulisic to be one of the best players in the nearest future.

The 28-year-old believes that the USA international can be a star at Chelsea.

Pulisic joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund in January but was loaned back to the Bundesliga giants for the second half of last campaign.

The 20-year-old is expected to fill the void Hazard created at Chelsea following the Belgian's departure to Real Madrid earlier this summer in a £100million deal.

"Pulisic can be one of the best in the future for sure," Hazard told The Associated Press.

"He can be a star. Now he's at one of the best clubs in the world. He's a proper player.

"He can play football."

Hazard added: "When you play football, it's a dream to, first, be in FIFA and then to be on the cover. You want to play more often because you're on the cover."
