Bojan Krkic senior has revealed how he decided against recommending Barcelona sign Eden Hazard during his days working as a scout for the club.

The club took a check on the Belgian while he was playing in France with Lille, but Bojan has told Cadena Ser why he wasn’t keen on the forward who went on to play for Chelsea and Real Madrid.

“I met him at the European Under-17 Championship. At that time, Belgium and Spain were superior. They reached the final, Spain won, but Hazard played wonderfully throughout the tournament except for the final,” he said.
