Eden Hazard believes Jeremy Doku has all the necessary tools to become a top player.

It seems like there are quite a lot of similarities between Hazard and Doku.

Much like the former Real Madrid wideman, the 21-year-old also made his name in Ligue 1 before making a move to the Premier League.

Eden Hazard is confident that Jeremy Doku will become a top player

Jeremy Doku is also renowned for being a masterful dribbler, much like Eden Hazard was during his spell at Lille and from the very start of his time at Chelsea.

With both also being rated as one of Belgian’s finest young players during the early days of their careers, the similarities are there for all to see.

When Eden Hazard was asked whether Jeremy Doku could become a top player for the Belgian national team, he was confident in saying yes.

“Yeah, yeah, for sure. He has everything. He has everything and he’s now with Pep Guardiola. Guardiola’s going to teach him everything also”, he said on The Obi One Podcast.

A testament to how much potential Jeremy Doku has

The fact that one of the best wingers in the history of the game in Eden Hazard rates Jeremy Doku as highly as he does is a testament to how much potential he has.

Much like Hazard, Doku is also far from being the finished article at 21 years of age.

There are games where young wingers like the Manchester City speedster can perhaps frustrate fans and pundits alike.

But as with any youngster, being patient is necessary, especially taking into account how talented Doku is.

Furthermore, Eden Hazard has had the opportunity to train and play with the highly-rated wide forward for the national team.

As a result, the 33-year-old has an insight into the qualities that the former Rennes dribbler possesses.

If Eden Hazard is as confident as he is about his fellow countryman being a top player in the making, Manchester City fans have every reason to be rubbing their hands with excitement.
