Chelsea ace Christian Pulisic admits he's flattered to be likened to Real Madrid attacker Eden Hazard.

The 22-year-old has endured a stop-start 18 months at Stamford Bridge due to injury after being signed as as a replacement for the Belgian before his €150million (£130m) move to Real Madrid in 2019.

He told club's official website: "As I've said before, Hazard was a huge player for this club and I'll never try and compare myself to him, but coming from a guy like Paul Scholes it's a big compliment.

"There's no one obvious player I model my game on. I like to take a lot of things from different players. I've learnt a lot from Hazard's game, from watching him and watching his highlights, and there's a lot of players like that. I'm trying to learn every day."
