Based on current form, Eden Hazard is probably the best player in England, if not in Europe, right now.

His brace in Chelsea's 2-1 win over Watford took him into double digits in terms of goals this season, and he's only behind Salah, Kane, and Aubameyang in the Golden Boot race.

In addition, he leads the Premier League's assists charts with 9 in just 15 starts.

The 27-year-old has been the Blues' single most important player so far. Starting the season in a traditional left wing role, he has since been shifted to a false 9 position by Maurizio Sarri, a tactic that paid off in Chelsea's impressive 2-0 win over Manchester City.

He has sometimes spoken of his desire to play for Real Madrid to the media this season, but you have to admire the incredible professionalism with which he goes about his job in spite of the numerous rumours linking him to Spain.

Chelsea's brilliant start to the season was halted by a loss to Leicester recently, highlighting their need to bring in some new signings in January.

However, Sarri will probably view retaining Hazard as his biggest task in the winter transfer window. If he manages to do so, he can more or less be assured of a top 4 finish.
