# Abraham claims Grealish can be as good as Eden Hazard

Tammy Abraham has claimed that Jack Grealish could reach the level of his Chelsea teammate Eden Hazard.

Speaking on [Villa’s YouTube series DriveTime](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9UW87fx9DCk&feature=youtu.be) Abraham claimed that if the midfielder were to add more goals and assists to his game, then he has every chance of being as good as Hazard.

Despite a quiet start, Grealish has been a big part of Villa’s season and has netted four goals whilst assisting another four.

Abraham, who is on a season-long loan from Chelsea, has also been key for Villa, getting 21 goals this campaign.

The on-loan striker revealed his thoughts on Grealish, saying:

> Jack is an unbelievable player.

> The things he has, things he can do with the ball – you can’t teach it. He’s born with it.

> He reminds me of Eden Hazard. Once Jack adds a few more goals and assists, he’ll be on that level.

> He has the same attributes – the way he dribbles, protects the ball, sees a pass, plays one-twos. He’s very intelligent.

> Him coming back has been great for us.

Villa are back in the playoff hunt after picking up some crucial wins.

Grealish was crucial in a second city derby win over Birmingham City recently, with the midfielder netting for Villa in a 1-0 win.

Dean Smith’s side sit sixth in the table and will take on Blackburn this weekend.
