Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher rates Eden Hazard as one of the Premier League's best players at his peak.

The former Chelsea winger announced his retirement from the sport this week.

Hazard had been besieged by injury issues in the past few years.

After Hazard announced his retirement, Carragher tweeted: "Interesting seeing the takes on here regarding Eden Hazard so here's mine! He was the best player in the Premier League for 4 years.

"Won PFA young player, PFA player & FWP of the year awards. He won every trophy at Chelsea except the CL [Champions League].

"He was in my eyes the best performer at the 2018 World cup when Belgium finished third. An all time Premier League great no doubt and would be in a lot of all time 11's!

"In the past that alone would be enough to be lauded unquestionably but in this day and age people are still not happy with that, as he didn't win a World Cup or do the business at Madrid," Carragher added.
