Oscar believes Chelsea team-mate Eden Hazard is the best player in the Premier League, though he faces some competition from within the Blues’ squad.

The Belgium international has impressed for Jose Mourinho’s side as they close in on a first league title in four years, with many tipping him to win a number of end-of-season awards.

And midfielder Oscar believes the winger’s consistency is what sets him apart while admitting others at Stamford Bridge could yes reach his level.

“In my opinion he is the best player in the Premier League at this moment,” he told Goal.

“It’s very hard pointing out who’s the best here or there, especially here with so many good players. But Hazard has been so consistent and he deserves to be considered as the best player in England.

“Obviously we have other good players like Willian, he is only 25, or Diego Costa. We still have room for improvement.

“If we keep this winning mentality I can’t see why not other stars can’t rise here.”
