#3 Hazard wanted to join Spurs
Chelsea star Eden Hazard could have been a Tottenham player had things gone down a little differently. The Belgian was making waves during his time in Lille and his then team-mate Joe Cole apparently suggested then Spurs manager Harry Redknapp sign him.

According to Redknapp, the Belgium captain was interested in joining the Lilywhites but nothing came of it in the end. He also made sure to give Cole the credit for recommending Hazard to him at the time.
“He wanted to come to Tottenham at that time, but unfortunately the deal didn’t get done. It was a shame,” Redknapp was quoted as saying.
“I was over there all the time. Joe put me onto him in the first place when he was very young, he’s just a genius.”
This must really hurt a lot of Spurs fans.
