5 best passers in the English Premier League this season

#3 Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

Hazard has scored 11 times in the league so far

It's easy to forget just how good and consistent Hazard has been in one of football's best leagues.

The Belgian player had this to say in 2014: "I'm no Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo... but I'm catching up". And he has lived up to his promise, sitting as one of the top players in the world.

Chelsea has taken a step backwards in terms of form from last season, when they won the Premier League title.

But that hasn't stopped Hazard from putting in top-notch performances. Chelsea's #10 has scored 11 times and provided 3 assists so far.

His passing success rate stands at 83 percent, with his responsibilities including finding space for key passes, holding onto the ball and dictating the rhythm of Chelsea's attack.

It's yet to be seen if the London side can hold on to their talented player with numerous clubs looking for an opportunity to lure him away.

If they do, Chelsea will surely be one of the favourites for next seasons' Premier League battle.
