EDEN HAZARD is looking forward to locking horns with two of his Belgium team-mates during Saturday’s London derby.
Jan Vertonghen and Mousa Dembele are in the Spurs squad for the White Hart Lane showdown with Chelsea.
And Hazard, 21, was quick to praise his countrymen ahead of the clash.
He said: “Dembele is a big player; I think he is one of the best players in the league at this time and it is difficult to defend against him.
“He has great pace and good technique, and is very effective in the centre of the pitch.
“I follow all the Belgian players in the Premier League, and now he is at a bigger club with better players it will be good for him.”
The Blues ace added: “Normally Vertonghen is a central defender and not a left-back but he can play both. He is very good technically and likes to bring the ball forward out of defence.”
Dembele was equally complimentary when speaking about Hazard.
The former Fulham star said: “It’s great to have someone of Hazard’s qualities in the Belgium team.
“He is without question the sort of player that could play in any team in the world so we are fortunate to have him in ours.”
