Jose Mourinho: 'Eden Hazard can match Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi'

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho tips Eden Hazard to reach the same level as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho believes that Eden Hazard has the potential to rival Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

The Belgian winger is the Blues' top scorer this season with 10 goals, and the Portuguese coach thinks that his winger can achieve similar levels of success as the La Liga stars.

The Mirror quotes Mourinho as saying: "If he wants to be a great, great player and arrive where Cristiano and Messi arrives, he has the space to go - he's 23, and Cristiano is 28 or 29, Messi 26 or 27, still young players, but four or five years older than Eden.

"So he has the space to go, space for evolution. I think there's a great ambition for him.

"Now I say yes [he can reach that level], because his evolution is great. I think, because of the positions Cristiano and Messi played, they are also top goalscorers."

The Blues are currently third in the Premier League.
