One of the best player in the world at the moment, Eden Hazard is an absolute treat to watch. The Belgian joined the League in 2012, joining the Blues for a reported fee of €33 million after spending eight seasons with French side Lille, making his professional debut for the Les Dogues at the age of 16.

The Belgian talisman has been around the Premier League now for six and half season and is one of the best players in the league, if not the best player. The winger has made 329 appearances for the Blues scoring 102 goals, 10th in the list of all-time goal scorers for Chelsea, and has won two Premier League titles, a FA Cup, a League Cup and a Europa League with the Blues.

Hazard has so far made 230 appearances in the Premier League and has got 79 goals to his name, making him the 47th in the list all-time top scoring players in the league as well as the highest scoring active Chelsea player.

The highest scoring Belgian in the history of the Premier League, Romelu Lukaku is the youngest player outside England and the fifth youngest ever to reach 100 goals in the league.

The Belgian joined the Premier League as a teenager from RSC Anderlecht for a reported fee of €12 million rising to €20 million in add-ons. The striker though failed to light up the world with the Blues as the young Lukaku was not given proper game time and spend most of his days with Chelsea out on loan.

It was during his loan spells that the Belgian showed his impressive goal-scoring abilities as Lukaku scored 17 goals for West Brom in his first loan spell and 15 for Everton in his second spell before making his move to the Merseyside permanent.

It was during his time at the Merseyside that the Belgian found his consistency as the big striker hammered in more than 10 league goals each season, joining Manchester United at the end of 2016-17 season.

The big Belgian has been in the Premier League for more than seven and a half years with the striker making a total of 240 appearances and scoring an impressive 109 goals in the timeline.

Lukaku is the 22nd on the list of Premier League all-time goal scorers, scoring the same number of goals as Manchester United legend Ryan Giggs.
