Zulte Waregem star Mbaye Leye believes that Thorgan Hazard is "an excellent player", but is concerned with the endless comparisons with his brother Eden Hazard.

Thorgan Hazard is spending the season on loan at Zulte Waregem from Chelsea, where he joined up with his brother over the summer.



The forward has been at the centre of a real push from Zulte Waregem this season, with the minnows topping the Belgian league standings.

And Thorgan Hazard was on target again at the weekend, scoring the only goal as Zulte Waregem beat Club Brugge 1-0.

Senegal forward Leye, who plays alongside Thorgan Hazard, is delighted with what he sees, although he is a little concerned about comparisons being made with brother Eden Hazard, who can at present be classes as one of the best players in world football.

For Leye, it is important Thorgan Hazard is left to develop his own game, without reference to Eden Hazard.

relatedNewsStory"At this level, Thorgan is wonderful and very good for us", Leye told TV programme Tribune.

"Thorgan is an excellent football player and I have seen what he has brought to our team since he has been here", he continued.

"I just think we are talking more about his brother than him.

"It is quite unsettling.

"At his age, we need to focus on what he does and what he brings."
