Former Belgian goalkeeper draws similarities between Eden Hazard and Jeremy Doku

Published on: 20 February 2020

Former Belgium goalkeeper Wim de Coninck believes Ghanaian youngster Jeremy Doku has similar tricks up his sleeves like Real Madrid star Eden Hazard. 

The youngster has received raving reviews with his explosive performances in recent weeks.

The 17-year old has been compared to the legendary Eden Hazard, which Wim de Coninck thinks is a bit exaggerated but believes the teenager has some qualities to share with the former Chelsea winger.

"The last few weeks have been a scourge for every opponent. Of course he got tons of attention, rightly so, but the comparison with Eden Hazard was exaggerated," De coninck told Voetbalmagazine.

"That is now overloaded with all the sins of Israel. He is a player with a flashy action, similar acceleration and like Eden, he is at his best coming from the left. Those are the points of contact," he added.

Doku was red carded in Anderlecht's defeat to KV Mechelen on Saturday, which rules him out of the home clash with KAS Eupen.
