Liverpool midfielder Curtis Jones has stirred debate by claiming that former Chelsea star Eden Hazard was a better overall player than his teammate Mohamed Salah.
Speaking ahead of Liverpool’s Champions League clash with Lille, Jones praised Hazard’s influence on his own game, stating:
As a player, is he better than Mo? In my opinion, yes. But who would you rather have in your team? You’re going to say Mo because he gets you the goals and assists.
Jones’ remarks have divided fans on social media, with some agreeing with his assessment of Hazard’s technical brilliance, while others highlight Salah’s goal-scoring consistency and impact at Liverpool.
🗣 Curtis Jones: "My one, and I know this might go a bit left with our fans because the comparisons [with salah] are always there, is Hazard. I know he's compared with Mo all the time & I've been into it with Mo.

Salah, who has been instrumental in Liverpool’s Premier League title charge, has 18 goals and 13 assists this season, further cementing his status as one of the world’s elite forwards.
With Liverpool focused on maintaining their dominance, Jones’ comments add an interesting dimension to the ongoing debate about Premier League greats.
