Chelsea legend, Eden Hazard, has picked the Blues’ forward, Cole Palmer, as the better dribbler than Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah.
The former Belgium national team captain also rated Palmer above the likes of Alexander Isak and Eberechi Eze.
The former Real Madrid forward was asked by the Premier League media team to pick the better dribbler from the options provided in a winner-stays-on style of questions.
Hazard picked Mohammed Kudus over Kaoru Mitoma, then picked Eze over Mitoma in the next round.
Eze then beat Jack Grealish, Florian Wirtz, and Phil Foden in the next three rounds, as Hazard felt he was the better dribbler.
But Eze, who now plays for Arsenal, having joined from Crystal Palace last summer, lost out to Palmer.
Palmer remained Hazard’s top choice ahead of Isak and Salah.
DAILY POST reports that Palmer had been compared to Hazard earlier this year.
Speaking with Goal, former Chelsea manager Roberto di Matteo said that Palmer was similar to the Belgian, backing him to win the Ballon d’Or.
