Summer Signings - Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard - What can I say that hasn't already been said about our Belgian star Eden Hazard, he has had a phenomenal start to the campaign with a goal from the penalty spot and plenty of assists to go with it. I thought that the fans would have to be patient (just like with any new signing) for Eden to settle into a new country and a new team but he has taken the league by storm with some explosive performances. He certainly flourishes in this new style which the Blues are playing, his touch on the ball is outstanding with little flicks all over the pitch, he's always giving his team mates the option to pass to him and he is always looking to bring others into play also. His rotation between the left wing and behind the striker with Juan Mata looks to be working well with both players seeming happy to play in either position giving Robbie Di Matteo more options when selecting the starting 11. His phenomenal ability of beating players exposes a team's back four especially if Eden is one on one with the defender, he is able to use the combination of lightning pace, great ball control and vision to bring something special to the team. Therefore, if he continues the level of play he has shown at the beginning of the Premier League campaign then I am certain that he will become even more of an influential player for the Blues for many years to come.
