Romelu Lukaku. Toby Alderweireld. Jan Vertonghen. Vincent Kompany. With son many top class Belgians currently plying their trade in the Premier League, one could be forgiven for thinking that it would be tough to choose who the best of them was. But there is absolutely no doubting the fact that Eden Hazard is the best of them all, and by some distance as well. In fact it would not be inaccurate to claim that he is the best Belgian to ever pull on the national team's jersey as well.

The mere mention of his name is more than enough to strike fear into the hearts of even the best defenders in the world. Extremely potent when cutting into central positions from his wide left berth, Hazard can often leave opposition players dumbfounded, and on their backsides with a drop of the shoulder and a lightning-quick turn of pace.

So far this season, he has notched up a personal best for assists in a single season, with 12, as well as scoring 14 times himself, an invaluable contribution in a Chelsea side which has, this season, struggled to find the back of the net under Maurizio Sarri. He averages 3.3 successful dribbles per game as well, which highlights his spectacular individual ability.

Hazard is another player who has been constantly linked with Real Madrid, and with the spectre of a transfer ban looming over Chelsea, they will be desperate not to lose their star man and will hope that he stays for the foreseeable future.
