The 31-year-old has admit coming up against Kyle Walker was the most difficult task he faced while he was a Blues player.

Hazard quickly replied with the Man City defender’s name when asked who has the toughest to play against.

When asked why he explained: “He’s strong, he’s fast, you know.

“I am strong and fast, but he is stronger than me and he is faster than me.

“As a right-back, I think he is one of the best at the moment.”

Hazard won two Premier League trophies, two Europa Leagues on top of the 2014/15 player of the season award.

Overall in 351 games for the West Londoners he scored 110 goals and assisted a further 92.

Since departing the club for Real Madrid he has struggled for game time and with injuries.

There was rumours he would be allowed to leave this summer but manager Carlo Ancelotti supposedly wants to keep him and bring him back to his best.

Meanwhile, Walker has won four Prem titles having faced Hazard at Man City as well as Tottenham previously.

The 32-year-old made the switch to the champions for £50million back in 2017 and under Pep Guardiola’s tutorship he is regarded as a world-class defender.
