Eden, Thorgan, Kylian and Ethan Hazard

Eden Hazard comes from a family of footballers. His mother and father were footballers and he has three younger brothers - Thorgan, Kylian and Ethan who are also footballers. Eden is considered one of the best footballers in the world at the moment and he has put a lot of pressure on his younger brothers.

His first brother, Thorgan, joined Chelsea in 2012 soon after signing Eden. However, Thorgan went on loan to Zulte Waregem immediately for a two-year period followed by another spell on loan at Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga. He joined the German club permanently in 2015 and has been with them since as a key first-team player.

Thorgan has played 153 games for Gladbach, scored 38 goals and assisted a further 35. He is also capped by Belgium at the senior level and has represented the team on 14 occasions and was also part of the squad that played at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Eden’s second brother, Kylian, is currently contracted to Chelsea after joining them in 2017. The 23-year-old hasn’t enjoyed a great career so far and is currently playing on loan for Belgian club Cercle Brugge.

The youngest brother, Ethan, is playing in the academy of Eden’s former club Tubize.
