#3 Eden Hazard

Huddersfield Town v Chelsea FC - Premier League

The Belgian maestro is certainly one of the most talented dribblers in the world and wears the jersey no. 10 both for his club Chelsea and his country. Hazard joined Chelsea in the summer of 2012 from Lille and was handed the jersey no. 17, because Juan Mata was the Chelsea No. 10 at that time. After Mata’s transfer to Manchester United, Hazard was handed the jersey No. 10 before the start of the 2014/15 season and has been wearing it with aplomb every since.

Hazard has been an integral part of the Chelsea team that won the Premier League in the 2014/15 and the 2016/17 season and the League Cup in the 2014/15 season, driving the team in attack and destroying opposition defences with his pace and trickery. He has been Chelsea’s best player for a few years now and has also won the FA cup last season. In the summer, he was one of the best players of the FIFA World Cup 2018 and powered Belgium to a third-place finish.

This season, there was a lot of speculation of him moving to Real Madrid, yet nothing materialized. The arrival of Maurizio Sarri also cast some doubts about his effectiveness in the Sarri-ball system, but Hazard has looked just as menacing as ever so far, scoring 2 goals in the 4 games played.

#10 Fact – Before Chelsea, Hazard has donned the No. 10 jersey once, during his final season at Lille.
