Eden Michael Hazard
A Chelsea career in a thread
RT’s appreciated

On 4 June 2012, Chelsea officially confirmed that the club had agreed terms with Lille for the transfer of Hazard. The midfielder agreed personal terms with the club and passed a medical examination. The transfer fee was reported to be priced at £32 million

He made his league debut against Wigan Athletic at the DW Stadium. In the contest, Hazard provided the assist for Branislav Ivanović's opening goal and, minutes later, won a penalty, which Frank Lampard converted, earning his side a 2–0 victory.

Hazard scored his first goal as a Chelsea player against Newcastle United after scoring a penalty. Chelsea won the match 2–0.

Hazard would have notable moments in the season including a long range strike at Stoke, a stoppage time equaliser v Sparta Prague to send Chelsea through in the Europa League, a MOTM display in a 2-0 win v West Ham and setting up Frank Lampard’s brace v Aston Villa.

Hazard ended his debut campaign at Chelsea with 13 goals and 24 assists in all competitions and a Europa league winners medal

2013/14
A trophy-less season but one where Hazard shone with 17 goals and 10 assists in all competitions. Notable moments included a first Chelsea hat trick v Newcastle and a brace in a 4-3 win at Sunderland as Chelsea finished 3rd and reached the Champions League semi finals

2014/15
19 goals and 13 assists in all competitions helped from Hazard helped Chelsea win a first league title in 5 years & win the League Cup. There were so many key moments but non more important than the title winning goal v Palace.

2015/16 a tough season for Hazard and Chelsea with only 6 goals and 8 assists . He did though provide us with this moment

2016/17
Redemption for Hazard as his 17 goals and 7 assists in all competitions helped Chelsea win the Premier League and reach the FA Cup final . So many important contributions but perhaps non more so than the fact 6 of those goals came v United, Arsenal , City and Spurs

Hazard’s best moment of the 16/17 season though was undoubtedly this

2017/18
A disappointing season for the club as they finished 5th . 17 goals & 13 assists in all competitions though again showed the importance of Hazard to this team. He scored the only goal in the FA Cup final win against Manchester United

2018/19
21 goals and 17 assists in all competitions helped Chelsea come 3rd, reach the League Cup final and win the Europa League . His last season as a blue with some brilliant moments . He also scored his 2nd Chelsea hat trick with 3 goals v Cardiff City

He gave us this incredible moment

And this

Before giving us a fitting farewell
