Ramos excited to play with 'world-class' Hazard at Real Madrid

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos has hailed Eden Hazard as a "world-class player" who will strengthen the team.

The Belgian attacker brought an end to over a year's worth of speculation when he joined the Spanish giants from Chelsea in a €100 million (£88m/$112m) deal this week, signing a five-year contract.

Madrid have been in search of a new star to bolster their attacking line after selling Cristiano Ronaldo to Juventus last summer and two-time Premier League winner Hazard is expected to fill the role.
