Ranked: The 5 highest paid footballers at Chelsea

#1 Eden Hazard - £200,000/week

Hazard could make big money move to Real Madrid next summer.

Eden Hazard is not only the best player in the Premier League but a contender for the Ballon d'Or in years to come.

The Belgian International signed for Chelsea in the 2010-11 season, and since then he has won two Premier League titles, the UEFA Europa League, the League Cup, and the FA Cup. Hazard also won the PFA Player of the Year award in the 2014-15 title-winning campaign.

Though Hazard's preferred position is the left wing, he played as a False 9 in many games. Despite his small stature, Eden is good at holding the ball up and distributing the play when necessary. His dribbling skills and finishing ability is the reason he got linked with top European clubs like Barcelona and Real Madrid.

Eden Hazard has earned every ounce of the salary he is receiving and the Blues might have to spend more to keep him at Stamford Bridge in the future.
