Chelsea legend Eden Hazard said in a short interview with 'talkSPORT' that Martin Odegaard seems to him to be the best Norwegian player at the moment, pushing Erling Haaland into a position below the Arsenal midfielder.

Belgian attacking midfielder Eden Hazard announced his retirement after failing to find another club following his release by Real Madrid last summer. However, he remains an important figure in the world of football.

He was asked who he thought was the best English player of the moment in a brief interview for 'talkSPORT', to which he replied Phil Foden while Cesar Azpilicueta was his choice as the best Spanish player.

He talked about Kevin De Bruyne as the best Belgian player as he couldn't pick himself but the controversial moment of his interview was when he chose Arsenal star Martin Odegaard over Erling Haaland as Norway's best player.
