#1 Eden Hazard (Belgium, Chelsea)

He is the player that Real Madrid is desperate to bring to the Santiago Bernebau and are visibly missing this season. in truth, Eden Hazard could walk into the first eleven of any team in the world right now, such has been his form this season.

Hazard has already scored 13 goals and picked up 11 assists from 29 games in the Premier League so far. While he has not been able to hold on to his blistering start to the season, the Belgian has still been extremely effective for Sarri down the left and has traumatized defenders with his speed, technical abilities, and precision.

The Belgian is averaging 3.2 dribbles and 2.6 key passes per game in the Premier League. In the Europa League, he has completed 4.7 dribbles and 3 key passes per game. As of now, Hazard has 16 goals and 11 assists from 39 games in all competitions this season and on current form, is definitely the best left-winger in the world at the moment.
