3. Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard with player of the month award for September

Eden Hazard is one of the best players in the Premier League currently, and some would argue that he is the best. It seems like he's completely put Chelsea's abysmal last season behind him with the way he performed at the World Cup this summer and for Chelsea this season so far.

The Belgian ace led his side to a third place finish in the FIFA World Cup, where he was one of the best players in the tournament. Keeping the momentum going, Hazard has been the star of this Chelsea side under the new manager Maurizio Sarri. The Belgian international has scored 7 times and assisted 4 goals in the Premier League this season.

Chelsea has seen a change in fortunes with them only being defeated once up to now, and Eden Hazard may have played an important role for his side. Eden Hazard with his amazing dribbling and drifting abilities, ball control and vision, is one of the best in the world at what he does.
