Eden Hazard is a former player of Chelsea
Chelsea legend, Eden Hazard has been officially inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame.
This honor is in recognition of a career that thrilled millions and brought joy to the game’s grandest stage.
Hazard becomes the sixth Chelsea legend to receive the honour, joining Petr Čech, John Terry, Ashley Cole, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
In addition to an engraved medallion, a £10,000 donation will be made by the Premier League to a charity of his choice.
“I grew up playing football for fun, with my brothers in the back garden, but my dream was always to play at the highest level,’ Hazard said. “It means a lot to join the Premier League Hall of Fame. I’m very proud to join this group of players and I think we could make a good squad.”

Hazard arrived at Chelsea in 2012 from Lille, famously announcing on Twitter: “I’m signing for the Champions League winner.”
He quickly lived up to the hype, scoring nine goals in his debut season and helping the Blues lift the Europa League.
Under José Mourinho, Hazard’s game reached new heights, earning him the Premier League Young Player of the Season and later the 2014/15 Premier League Player of the Season as he inspired Chelsea to the title.
Across seven memorable years, Hazard’s artistry defined an era at Stamford Bridge. He scored 110 goals in 352 appearances, won two Premier League titles, two Europa Leagues, an FA Cup and a League Cup, leaving as one of Chelsea’s greatest ever players.
Now, with his place immortalised in the Premier League Hall of Fame, Eden Hazard’s legacy as one of football’s purest entertainers is complete.
