Ba and Hazard were teammates at Chelsea and remain close friends despite the Senegalese international leaving the Premier League outfit this summer.

“Hazard is a nice kid, you know, I like him. I’m five years older than him so for me he’s like my little brother, and I just want to take care of him,” Ba said in an interview with the Telegraph.

Ba joined the Black Eagles on a €6 million move from Chelsea this summer and wears the number nine shirt for the Black Eagles.
