“There were a lot of rumours about my future, but there was never anything concrete – not even from Union (Saint-Gilloise).

 “It was great to see my name appear in connection with several clubs, and I have never played for a Belgian club, so it would have been a great end to my career.”

Hazard was most successful at Chelsea, where he won two Premier League titles scoring 110 goals across 352 appearances.
