Eden Hazard can win the Ballon d'Or according to former Lille team-mate Yohan Cabaye - who labelled the Chelsea winger as the best player he has ever played alongside.

Former PSG midfielder Yohan Cabaye is the latest footballer to come out and tip Eden Hazard for Ballon d'Or success.

The pair are both graduates of Ligue 1 club Lille's youth system, and spent four years together in the first team there before Cabaye moved to Newcastle in 2011, with Hazard switching to Chelsea a season later.

It only took Eden Hazard one minute to score for Chelsea on Saturday as they beat Crystal Palace, and Cabaye believes that he will be rewarded for performances like this.

Cabaye told the 'Daily Mail': "Eden, even back at Lille, he was a young player but he still had that quality that made him so special.

"I would say he is the best I have played with. He has so much quality and you see that every time he plays.
