Hazard is one of Chelsea's key players

Heavily touted as the galactico replacement for the Juventus bound Ronaldo at Real Madrid, Hazard now seems set to spend at least another season at Stamford Bridge.

The 28-year-old is undoubtedly one of the best players in the world, and though plagued by consistency issues, on his day, he has the key to unlock any defence in the world, and Chelsea are blessed to have him within their ranks.

After a disappointing 2017/2018 season for Chelsea, Eden Hazard reminded everyone of his qualities at the 2018 World Cup, where he put in a Silver Ball-winning performance to guide Belgium to her best World Cup finish in 52 years.

Hazard was unplayable at times, embarking on devastating runs and shouldering the responsibility of lifting Belgium, particularly in the quarter-final against Brazil, where he outplayed and outshone Neymar.

Despite resuming late for training due to an extended break for his World Cup exertions, Maurizio Sarri named him new team captain, and he starred with a dominant display in Chelsea's victory over Huddersfield last week.

With his record of 5 goals in 17 matches against Arsenal, The Gunners have to be wary of him, as he has pace in abundance to burn, evidenced by this beautiful solo goal, scored against Arsenal in the league two seasons ago
