5 players that could beat Lionel Messi to the European Golden Shoe this season

#3. Eden Hazard

The Belgian is one of the most impressive attackers in Europe at the moment

A managerial change was all Belgian ace Eden Hazard needed in order to move his Chelsea career forward, with the ex-Lille winger raising his game to an impressive height following the dismissal of Italian tactician, Antonio Conte and the appointment of former Napoli head coach, Maurizio Sarri this summer.

Following a lot of speculations regarding his future at Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window, the playmaker decided to stay put and he has quickly transformed his fate from a want-away superstar to one of the deadliest finishers in Europe at the moment - thanks to the influence of Maurizio Sarri in the English capital.

Hazard has been a real force to be reckoned with so far this season and his incredible performances have helped Chelsea to establish themselves as one of the contenders for the Premier League title. The Belgian has recorded an amazing 7 goals to his name in 9 Premier League appearances so far and with such an unbelievable form, he cannot be written off for the European Golden Shoe this season.
