Former Portugal national team and London "Chelsea" club defender Paulo Ferreira believes that Eden Hazard will reach the level of the best footballer in the world, Cristiano Ronaldo.

The Belgian national team player is the main player for "Chelsea", leading the club to the top of the English Premier League. The 24-year-old footballer scored 12 goals and made 8 assists in 30 matches in the English championship.

"In my opinion, they are different players, but Hazard does an excellent job and I think he can reach Cristiano's level," - said the Portuguese to "talkSPORT" radio.

"I would be happy to have a player like Eden in my team. He is the kind of player that any team needs, he competes excellently in every match and helps the team. He is a very talented football player and can decide the outcome of a match at any time," - added the Portuguese.
