Gueye hails Hazard before PSG vs Real Madrid clash in an interview with Marca.
You played with Eden Hazard at Lille. Did he surprise you?
Of course. We were together when we were young but he was already clearly a very strong player. He played in the first team even though he was younger than us and when he came down to the second team it was a pleasure to see him train.
I'm not surprised by how far he's come. We're still friends and keep in touch. We won a historic double at Lille thanks to him because he could do everything, he scored and gave assists.
Can he succeed Cristiano?
Cristiano is Cristiano. Hazard has to write his own story in Madrid. Cristiano is an inspiration for everything.
Is he [Hazard] among the best in the world?
Without a doubt. I've always said it. England is a tough place to play but he triumphed and now he'll do the same with Madrid.
If you could sign any Real Madrid player at PSG?
Easy, Hazard.
