Sergio Ramos hails "world-class" Eden Hazard

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has branded Eden Hazard, who recently completed a move to the Bernabeu, "a world-class player".

Hazard has signed a five-year contract with Los Blancos, with the 28-year-old ending a long-running transfer saga by officially joining the Spanish giants.

Ramos has called the attacker "a great signing", and the Spaniard is pleased that his club have further strengthened the squad after a disappointing 2018-19 campaign.

"I think it's a great signing. He is a world-class player. It is good to reinforce the squad," Ramos told reporters.

Hazard scored 21 goals and registered 17 assists in 52 appearances for Chelsea during the 2018-19 season.

In all, the Belgium international found the back of the net on 110 occasions in 352 matches for the Blues.
