6 players who can be successors to Cristiano Ronaldo according to Ronaldo himself!

#2 Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard has long been linked with a move to Real Madrid

Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard once again showed last season why he is so highly rated. Touted to be a future Ballon d’Or winner, Hazard displayed ample amount of class and was the standout attacking player for Antonio Conte’s Premier League winning Chelsea side.

Hazard’s stats in the 2016/17 season have been absolutely outstanding in the Premier League. With 16 goals and 5 assists, the Belgian attacking midfielder time and again popped up with important contributions in big matches.

Capable of beating opposition defenders with ease and setting up chances for team-mates, Hazard provides the creative spark and is often the key to unlocking stubborn defences.

Arsenal legend Thierry Henry best summarised Hazard's ability when he said:

"On his day, nobody can stop him. He has such great quality on the ball. He can create something from nothing and this is the sign of a special player."

Hazard's favourite position is the left wing and the Belgian forward could ironically be signed as a long-term replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo.
