Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard has once again shown this season why he is so highly rated. Touted to be a future Ballon d’Or winner, Hazard has shown his class and has been the standout attacking player for Antonio Conte’s Chelsea this season.

Hazard’s stats this season have been absolutely outstanding in the Premier League. With 15 goals and 5 assists, the Belgian attacking midfielder has 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 has made a Premier League high 66 key passes showing his importance to the Premier League leaders.

Real Madrid are said to be desperate to sign the 26-year-old and with the Belgian at the peak of his powers, the move could come to fruition in the summer transfer window. In fact, Madrid manager Zidane himself is a huge fan of Hazard. In an earlier interview, the French manager had said:

"Eden is technically gifted and very fast. He will be a major star in the future. I would take him to Real Madrid with my eyes closed."

Will Hazard become a future galactico? Only time will tell.
