Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has made a very bold statement by calling midfielder Eden Hazard is without a doubt the best player in the Premier League.
Even though Hazard has only scored 12 goals in 30 matches, Mourinho believes that no other player can hold a candle to what the Belgian has accomplished this season.
“I think what he’s doing, speaking in a very honest way, it shouldn’t even be a debate,” Mourinho said during a press conference. “If somebody throws other names on the table, it’s because he wants to sell papers, wants to throw some sand into people’s eyes, because this player [Hazard] is by far the best player in the Premier League all season.”
Hazard joined Chelsea from Lille for 32 million pounds in 2012 and recently signed a new contract, which will see him remain at Stamford Bridge until 2021.
