The skillful Belgian signed for the Blues in the summer of 2012 just after the Chelsea team won their famous Champions League against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, a very late goal from Didier Drogba and also a last spot kick from the Chelsea ace helped secure the title at the backyard of the host Bayern Munich. Since his arrival from the French club Lille LOSC, Eden Hazard has dazzled the Premier League defenders who found it very difficult defending against him in the early stages. He won so many penalties for his team as a result of errors committed by opposing defenders due to his explosive nature. , and the possibility of him linking up with the Champions League holders is very likely. Indeed, Eden is a joy to watch.

Eden Hazard has been in good form this season, bagging five goals and two assists in the English Premier League and also getting three goals and two assists in the UEFA Champions League. Though Chelsea might be out of the EPL title race thanks to embarrassing losses to Burnley, Crystal Palace, WestHam, they can still go far in other competitions with the likes of star boy Eden Hazard firing on all cylinders.
Eden had played in three positions this season and looked most effective when performed higher up in the attacking midfielder role with much freedom to move further forward and join Alvaro Morata in the attack.
He has 8 goals and 4 assists with his strongest attack coming from attacking the Midfielder Center. In my personal opinion, I feel Hazards’ only weakness is his weak defensive contribution. He is always isolated up front and rarely comes back to participate in defensive duties.
Few of his strengths include his accurate passing. He is very good at doing flicks to his teammates and also fancies one twos and some one-touch passes. He is an equally good dribbler of the ball. He is most dangerous when he’s allowed to run at the opposition defense because he can comfortably dance around the ball and beat one or two defenders. Every complete forward has to have a perfect finishing to cap up all the impressive display and unsurprisingly, Eden Hazard also possess this quality, the ability to slot the ball behind the net expertly. He also holds on to the ball very well, thereby bringing his teammates into the game with perfect passes or little flicks.
As a result of his dribbling ability, he often gets fouled a lot and can win free kicks in dangerous positions for Alonso to slot in.
