Eden Hazard celebrates his goal

When on song, there are very few players in the world who possess the ability to create havoc in the opposition camp better than Eden Hazard. Thankfully for millions of Chelsea fans across the globe, the Belgian has been in supreme form since the beginning of the 2016-17 season and has looked head and shoulders above the rest of the attackers on the pitch.

The Belgian has been a constant menace to the opposition with his pace, skill on the ball and the ability to find his teammates in advantageous positions on the pitch and the one player who has breathed fear into the lives of defenders. He has created chances at will (105 chances created in 2017 in the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League alone) and has been a joy to watch if you happen to be a Blue and was Chelsea’s best-attacking player through 2017.

Hazard bagged 16 goals in 2017 across all competitions and remains pivotal as ever to Chelsea’s attacking play, for they have looked pedestrian at times without their Belgian magician.

Chelsea remain in contention for several trophies going into the business end of the season and Hazard’s abilities on and off the ball are expected to be critical to Chelsea’s success.
