CHELSEA star Eden Hazard has wished Neymar good luck on his world record transfer to PSG.
The 25-year-old moved to the French club from Barcelona for a staggering £198million - he was officially unveiled on Friday after a long transfer saga.
Hazard spent five years in France with Lille and impressed massively in his time there.
He helped guide the club to a League and Cup double in 2011.
The Belgian was crowned player of the year during his time in France before his £32m move to Chelsea in 2012.
Hazard congratulated Neymar on his move on Instagram - and backed him to replicate his achievements and become the league's best player.
Neymar had been unsettled at the Catalan club for some time, wanting to move away from the Nou Camp to step out of Lionel Messi's long shadow.
Barcelona are now linked with a long list of replacements for the Brazilian, with Hazard near the top of the list.

When approached on the possibility of Hazard joining Barcelona Chelsea boss Antonio Conte said: "We are trying to buy the players, not to sell!
"Otherwise the number is always less and we are in trouble, I think these are rumours, Eden is very happy to stay with us to stay with Chelsea, to start the new season, to recover from his injury."
