Conte: Hazard can do great things in his career

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has declared that Eden Hazard is capable of doing "great things" in his career after the winger was crowned the Premier League player of the month for October.
Hazard has been hugely impressive for Chelsea of late and has been especially effective following Conte's decision to switch to a 3-4-3 formation which has meant that the Belgian no longer has to track back with as much regularity as he previously did.
As reported by the club's official website, Conte said: "I'm pleased for Eden because he's playing fantastic football. He's working very well in the sessions, showing great attitude and commitment. He's a fantastic player, he's working a lot for the team and it's fantastic when a player with his talent puts it in for the team.
"It's important Eden is showing his talent and playing well, it's not right to compare him to others but he has the potential to do great things in his career."
Hazard is an excellent distributor of the ball, as demonstrated by the fact that he has an average pass accuracy of 85% in the Premier League this season, while he poses a major threat in front of goal and has scored seven times in eleven top flight appearances.
Chelsea face Middlesbrough away on Sunday, with Conte's side seeking to extend their winning run in the Premier League to six games as they look to put pressure on league leaders Liverpool.
