Tottenham ace Kulusevski: I wish I had played against Hazard

Tottenham ace Dejan Kulusevski has paid tribute to Eden Hazard after his retirement last week.

The former Chelsea and Real Madrid has hung up the boots at the age of 32.

Sweden attacker Kulusevski told talkSPORT: "My big football idol is Eden Hazard. He was a great player and he was definitely my favourite player. Football is love, and he gave football so much love and joy for many.

"I have actually met him once, and it was a nice moment. But I'm also sad that I've never played against or with him.

I just played against Belgium, but he ended his career before that."
