Thorgan Hazard, the younger brother of Chelsea star Eden, has revealed how happy his sibling is to see his current run of good form at Borussia Monchengladbach but admits the Blues winger has advised him to continue working hard.

Thorgan scored his seventh goal in his last eight appearances in all competitions on Wednesday as German side Monchengladbach were beaten 2-1 at home to Barcelona in the Champions League.

Such has been Thorgan's form this term that Eden has previously taken to Twitter to praise the 21-year-old, and the former Chelsea midfielder has revealed just how much his older brother has been pleased to see his progress since leaving England last year.

"He [Eden] is happy for me. He tells me I'm in hot form, but also that I have to keep going like that," Thorgan told France Football. "We hope we'll meet up with the national team so that we can play together.

"He doesn't give me any advice in particular. He has his own career to deal with. We're two different players at two different clubs. He doesn't bother me by saying, 'Do this, do that...'"

Thorgan initially arrived at Chelsea in the same summer as Eden but, as his older brother went on to cement his place in the Blues' team, Thorgan was sent out on loan to Belgian side SV Zulte Waregem for two years before moving to Monchengladbach on loan.

He finally sealed a permanent move to the Bundesliga side last February and, despite Chelsea having a buy-back clause on the midfielder, Thorgan admits people no longer ask him about his struggles at Stamford Bridge.

"It's been a little while now that people don't ask me too many questions about that," he said.

"It was above all when I was at the Lens youth academy and in Belgium. Now, people don't bother me with it."
