5 players who would suit a position change in 2017/18

#5 Eden Hazard – False Nine

Hazard was fantastic as a false nine in the few opportunities he got this season

After a disappointing 2015/16 campaign, Eden Hazard is well and truly back to his best.

Undoubtedly one of the most skilful players in world football, it's surely only a matter of time before the Chelsea star gets his hands on the coveted Ballon d’Or award.

His wing wizardry is one of the best sights in modern football, but could the Belgium international also find success as a false nine for the Pensioners?

The cameos he has enjoyed in that position already tell us as much.

Deployed there a handful of times in the absence of Diego Costa last season, Hazard tore it up and laid down a marker to prove his versatility. Against both Bournemouth and Leicester City in the second half of the season, he played in the free role to great effect.

With Costa heading for the Stamford Bridge exit door, Hazard could, potentially, move there full-time next season. Michy Batshuayi, and the summer strikers who arrive, will not want that to happen, but it is a possibility.
