Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard claims that Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne is "the best player in the Premier League".

Chelsea attacker Eden Hazard has claimed that Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne is "the best player in the Premier League".

De Bruyne has scored twice and provided six assists in 11 Premier League appearances this season, with his form key in helping the Citizens open up an eight-point lead at the top of the table.

Hazard is currently on international duty with De Bruyne, and the 26-year-old has paid tribute to his Belgium teammate.

"Kevin is definitely the best player in the Premier League at the moment," Hazard told reporters. "City are the best Premier League team and Kevin is an important player in [Pep] Guardiola's system. It's easy to play with Kevin because we're good players."

De Bruyne has also scored once and contributed three assists in four Champions League appearances for City this season.
