The Belgium international experienced a difficult start of the season, however his manager Jose Mourinho backs him up and defends him to be the best player in the English Premier League.
The Blues winger endured a difficult evening against Maccabi Tel-Aviv in midweek failing to impress and missed out a penalty despite Chelsea’s 4-0 win.
The 24 years old PFA player of the year has been under performing and yet to make an impact for the Mourinho’s side in difficult start of the season with just 4 points in five matches so far.
The statement could be aimed to add a morale boost to the Belgium before a London derby match against the arch rivals Arsenal on Saturday in an early kick off.
The victory could be a great boost for the blues who had a difficult start as the defending champions already lost the same amount of games which they did in the title winning season last year.
The morale boost could be an important one for their main man as they play against the side in a great run of form with 10 points in five matches.
He told reporters: “He’s the best player in England. It’s not because Rooney doesn’t score goals for three weeks that he’s not a fantastic player. Eden is the best player playing in this country.
“It’s not because a bad performance or a penalty missed, or not scoring goals for three or four weeks. He’s the best. He’ll be the best again. I don’t know if it’s tomorrow or next week but one of these days he’s man of the match.”
