Eden Hazard: Adding Lille Star Would Add to Chelsea's Momentum

Ian HanfordMay 20, 2012

Eden Hazard's new destination is kept under wraps for at least another day, although Hazard did hint on his possible future team.

The possibility of Hazard signing with Chelsea should frighten soccer fans. He will not come cheap, but Hazard's 21 goals in 2011 would be a welcome addition to the Blues' attack.

Let's take a look at Hazard's game and what he would add to Chelsea's squad.

Hazard's Game

Hazard is a top-notch finisher with phenomenal possession skills.

Hazard is not big, but his body control allows him to possess the ball for long periods of time in the midfield. This would be a major benefit to Chelsea once Frank Lampard moves on.

Versatility is also important.

Hazard played both attacking midfielder and striker for Lille. His ability to lineup in multiple areas, and be successful, makes him an even bigger commodity to every English Premier League club.

Hazard's finishing and passing ability have come a long way as well. This makes him a complete threat with the ball at his feet.

Hazard is a dynamic talent, just beginning to scratch the surface. He has gobs of potential, and will be a massive signing for whoever is lucky enough to land his services.

What Would Hazard Mean for Chelsea?

Chelsea is the hottest team in the world right now following their UEFA Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich on Saturday.

Signing Hazard would increase their momentum tenfold.

Hazard is arguably the hottest name on the transfer market this summer. Chelsea will be competing with every EPL team, mainly Manchester United and Manchester City.

Chelsea must sign Hazard to keep him away from their rival squads, and ensure their future success.

Didier Drogba is getting old, as is Lampard. Fernando Torres does not seem happy with Chelsea. That leaves the Blues with short-term options at best on the attack.

Hazard is going to command a lot of money, but he is worth it.

If Chelsea lands Hazard, their momentum will be palpable.

At worst, Hazard creates depth and flexibility on Chelsea' side. His ability to play multiple positions and adapt to different styles would give the Blues multiple options for each match's lineup.

Nothing wrong could come from a Hazard signing for the Blues.
