The Belgian's dream move to Real Madrid might not have unfolded as he had hoped, however, he remains one of the best dribblers in world football at the moment. Eden Hazard caught the eye when he broke into the scene with Lille when he was also awarded the Ligue 1 player of the year. However, it was during his time at Chelsea that Hazard realized his true potential.

Even though he was used across the front three with Lille, Hazard made the left attacking position his own at Stamford Bridge. He was brilliant down the left, cutting inside and shooting with purpose, while also using his fantastic skills to create chances and bring his teammates into play. By the time he left Chelsea, he had scored 110 goals from 352 appearances.

On his day, the Belgian is unplayable, floating across the pitch and skipping past defenders as if they aren't even there. His incredible balance helped him stay grounded and also aids in his dribbling. Hazard has a bag full of tricks in his repertoire and often leaves the opposition stunned by churning out a moment of magic on the pitch.

Despite his indifferent start to life in Spain, the 28-year-old is currently registering 3.3 successful dribbles per game, which makes him one of the best dribblers in the world at present.
