Chelsea ace Eden Hazard and French midfielder Dmitri Payet finish off our list of odd pairings in football.

The duo played together at Lille OSC in the 2011-12 season of Ligue 1 where they finished third on the table.

Hazard had an incredibly successful campaign, having featured in the French team of the year, and winning the Best Young Player award.

Hazard's performances attracted a lot of interest that year, and this saw him eventually move to London club Chelsea the following season.

Payet on the other hand remained in his home country for a while, and has over the years developed into one of the most prolific midfielders in the world.
