Belgian International football player Eden Hazard finally parted ways with Chelsea this summer to join Real Madrid. As a replacement for Hazard, Chelsea has drafted in Christian Pulisic. In a recent interview, Hazard has finally revealed his opinion on Pulisic.
Notably, Christian Pulisic was drafted into the squad from Borussia Dortmund last January itself but he remained with Dortmund until the end of the season in July. This meant that he could never play with Hazard, who had already joined Real Madrid by then.

Hazard has only words of praise for the American player and he thinks, in Pulisic, Chelsea have bagged a superb player who with time can eventually go on to become one of the best in future.

“[Pulisic] can be one of the best in the future for sure,” Hazard said to 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.”
At the same time, with Eden Hazard now playing for Real Madrid, expectations are more than ever before. The Belgian captain moved to Real Madrid earlier in the summer from Chelsea in a massive money-making deal. However, he has not had a fairy tale start to his career in Real Madrid, having faced two defeats in his first three pre-season matches.
The last match witnessed Real Madrid receive a thrashing from Atletico Madrid. Hazard spent an hour on the football ground and was not much influential in the proceedings of the match.
Hazard is expected to feature in Real Madrid’s next match against Tottenham Hotspur on 30 July 2019.
