A Chelsea legend in the making

When one realises the fact that the world class Belgian was signed for only £32 million, it instantly occurs to them that this might just be one of the best value-for-money signings of all time. Eden Hazard was already a star with Lille and took his game to another level at Stamford Bridge.

So it was only natural for Chelsea fans to rush and buy shirts with his name on the back, given that he was the brightest prospect in the world at that point. However, unlike the other people on this list, his name actually grew hyperbolically after signing his for his new club.

And it is for this reason that his shirts sell the most among all the Chelsea players. Indeed, according to a report from Sky Sports, Chelsea sold the most shirts in 2015/16 among all Premier League clubs—and Eden Hazard was the one who leads the list for Chelsea.
