EDEN HAZARD has hailed the impact Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is having on his game.
Chelsea star Hazard is benefiting from working with the former Gunners hero while he is away with the Belgium national team.
Henry was drafted in by Roberto Martinez to be part of his coaching team with Belgium - and Hazard says players cannot fail to learn from his advice.
Hazard said: "Everyone knows my love for the French team, when I was younger I watched more of Thierry and Les Bleus than the Belgium team.
"So it is a pleasure to have him as a coach - he teaches us a lot.
"Even if he is not always there during training sessions, his presence in the set-up alone brings out the best of us."

Hazard has been in sparkling form for Chelsea this season and is already one of the favourites to win the player of the year awards.
The 25-year-old has scored eight goals in all competitions for the Blues, and rediscovered the form that made him one of the world's most highly-rated young players after a poor campaign last year.
