Cool Player:
In order to secure a spot in the All-Star team Hazard needs to be able to convince Sir Alex Ferguson of his own ability to perform at a high level for Manchester United Football Club. Despite Hazard being named in the All-Star team, it seems that the Manchester United boss is happy to play the Belgium international on the bench in order to keep an eye on what Hazard can contribute to the club instead of having to constantly monitor Hazard’s performances during the season. Hazard’s impressive net worth will no doubt ensure that any offers to sign him from Chelsea will be welcomed with open arms. With such a high level of performance, Hazard will also come into consideration should Chelsea decide to make a move for another right-back or left-back this summer.
Eden Hazard is one of the football players that have really grown during the past year. His performance record this season has been excellent and he has come into his own as a goal-scorer as well as a creator of chances for his teammates.

With such a huge transfer value and the potential for double figures, Hazard has clearly become a key player at Chelsea Football Club.
