Viral Video of the Day: Eden Hazard's Goals, Assists from 2011-12 Season
With super-football-tease Eden Hazard apparently packing his bags for Chelsea, it's time to show everyone what, exactly, all the fuss is about.
Here's a hint: You'd probably shell out £78 million for him too, if you had it.
Above, you can watch all 20 goals and 15 assists Eden Hazard recorded during the 2011-12 Ligue 1 season with French club Lille OSC.
For this work, Hazard, 21, was named Ligue 1 Player of the Year for the second straight season. Lille finished third behind big-spending Paris Saint-Germain and champions Montpellier.
Hazard has made 27 senior appearances for Belgium since making his international debut in 2008, scoring twice during that time.
In case you missed it, here's the now-famous tweet that has everyone thinking Hazard will join Chelsea.
"I'm signing for the champion's league winner.

Since Hazard sent out that tweet, details of the potential deal have started to emerge.
According to the Daily Telegraph, Hazard's agent, John Bico, wants a £6 million cut on what could be a mega deal:
"Chelsea will pay a fee of around €40 million (£35.3 million) to Lille, with Hazard having demanded wages of £4.6 million a year net of tax, so around £9 million a year for his new employer. That averages out at £170,000 a week.
"
So, now all Hazard has to do is reproduce his fine Ligue 1 form at Chelsea. Not that he'll be feeling any big-money pressure.
What do you think, readers? Will he be a hit or a flop?
