Paris Saint-Germain right-back Thomas Meunier has urged Eden Hazard to join him in France

Thomas Meunier has adopted a flattery approach in a bid to get his Belgium teammate to join him in at the Parc des Princes

EDEN HAZARD has been urged to join Paris Saint-Germain by his Belgium national teammate Thomas Meunier.

Chelsea talisman Hazard is a longtime target for the French giants.

The midfielder first made his name in Ligue 1 with Lille before a £32million move to Stamford Bridge in 2012.

Right-back Meunier has now urged the 26-year-old to join him at the Parc des Princes - insisting Hazard is the equal of PSG's record signing Neymar.

The Brazilian superstar swapped Barcelona for the French capital in a £200m deal this summer.

Meunier, 26, declared: "Eden and Neymar are on the same level of ability.

"Neymar loves to have the ball at his feet, and to create situations on his own. Eden was like that when he first started out.

"He was greedy, but he has simplified his game while keeping his technique and vision.

"To my mind Eden could play for PSG with his hands tied behind his back. It would be a fantastic transfer for us.

"Eden would be good enough to play for Real Madrid or Barcelona as well. He could play anywhere.

"He is in the group of truly great players alongside Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar, who have ability in their DNA."

Hazard has won two Premier League titles, the Europa League and the League Cup with Chelsea. He was voted the 2014-15 Footballer of the Year.
