John Terry Says Eden Hazard Is Now at Same Level as Messi and Ronaldo

Eden Hazard put on another starring show for Chelsea against Stoke City on Saturday as the Blues ground out a 2-1 victory. 

The Belgian scored one and set up the other for Jose Mourinho's side, and one man who was certainly impressed was John Terry. 

The Chelsea captain sung the praises of Hazard after the match, comparing the attacking midfielder to likes of Barcelona's Lionel Messi and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo. 

He told Sky Sports, as per the Press Association (via the Daily Mail): 

"

He has been our best player by a long way this year and in those games when you are looking for a bit of extra, a bit of magic from someone he is the one who steps up and managed to create something. He is up there with the (Lionel) Messi's and (Cristiano) Ronaldo's and can still get better and better.

"

Hazard is currently the odds-on favourite with Oddschecker to be named PFA Player of the Year, with Tottenham's Harry Kane being his closest competitor.
