Published: November 22, 2018

Chelsea star Eden Hazard was very impressive in the first few weeks of the Premier League, having a hand in seven goals from five matches and his performance for The Blues has impressed one of his rivals, Arsenal's Alex Iwobi.

This week, the Nigeria international took part in the quarter-final of the NBA2K19 Gaming Tournament and was asked who is the LeBron James of the English Premier League, or to put it another way, who is the best player in the English topflight at the moment.

''I would say Hazard," Iwobi said, according to Football.London.

"He’s dominating and has a had a very good season so far and he’s always a top performer."

This season, Iwobi has already stepped out onto the same pitch with Hazard, on game week two when the Nigerian netted in a 3-2 loss to Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.

The two wingers started the two games played by their respective countries during the recent international break.
