Zlatan Ibrahimovic's imminent move to Manchester United will make the Premier League "even greater", Eden Hazard says.
Ibrahimovic confirmed on Thursday what has been an open secret all summer: Old Trafford will be his next destination in a career which has taken in titles in four major European leagues.
The Sweden great will jostle for space among superstars including Eden Hazard, who was English football's double player of the year as recently as 2015.
And the Chelsea forward has welcomed the addition of another headline act.
"The Premier League will once again welcome another world-class star and I can't wait for the Premier League to start up again," said Hazard, speaking from Euro 2016 where his form has helped Belgium reach the last eight.
"It will be tricky to win the Premier League this season with all of the opposition that there is and that's what makes the competition even greater."
Hazard said earlier this month he would be staying at Stamford Bridge despite reports of interest from Ibrahimovic's previous club Paris Saint-Germain.
