Eden Hazard: Everything You Must Know About Chelsea's Newest Superstar

Eden Hazard is soon going to become the latest addition to the Champions League-winning Chelsea side.

According to Sam Wallace of The Independent, the 21-year-old star is set to be leaving French Ligue 1 team Lille and joining the Blues for a transfer fee estimated to be in the £40 million range. 

While it’s not official yet, all signs point to the Belgian national being announced as the latest Chelsea player in the near future.

Let’s take a look at some of his stats and information so you can know a little more about this young, upcoming star.

Born: 7 January 1991, La Louviere, Belgium

Position: Attacking midfield, left wing

2011-12 Club Stats: 38 games, 20 goals, 16 assists, 106 shots

International Stats: 27 games, two goals

Hazard is a great choice for Chelsea because of his youth and immensely creative ability with the ball. He is going to be a fixture on the side for as long as they will continue to pay him and allow him to stay.

He’s one of the fastest players in the entire world and adds a whole new dimension to Chelsea’s attack now that Didier Drogba is no longer with the club. Hazard will have plenty of opportunities to create in space and turn on his jets to get down the pitch. 

There is a reason why nearly every major club in Europe coveted the young man and he will certainly be a revelation now that he has made a move to the English Premier League.

Chelsea should be counting their blessings now that they are on the verge of signing the superstar.
