Hazard joins Premier League Hall of Fame, full list here | OneFootball

The Premier League announced this Wednesday the newest name to be inducted into the competition's Hall of Fame this year. Through a popular vote, Eden Hazard, a Chelsea idol, was the player chosen for the list of competition legends.

Hazard joined Chelsea in 2012 and stayed in London for seven seasons. He was a key player for the Blues during this period, with 352 games, 110 goals, and 88 assists. The Belgian won six titles with the team, including two English Championships. The forward was also named the Premier League's best player in 2015.

In addition to the objective numbers, the Premier League conducted a survey of Hazard's statistics, where he led in dribbling statistics, chances created, fouls received, and man of the match awards during his time in London.

A not so brilliant end

In July 2019, Hazard was signed by Real Madrid for 120.8 million euros (R$ 530 million at the time). However, the Belgian did not perform well in Spanish football. The forward spent only four seasons in Madrid, played 76 times, scored seven goals, and provided 12 assists. Shortly after leaving the team, he announced his retirement.

Complete list of nominees

Created in 2021, the Premier League Hall of Fame honors the main players of the competition, which was established in 1992, revolutionizing the English Championship model. The first inductees were Alan Shearer, a Newcastle legend, and Thierry Henry, an Arsenal icon. Currently, the list includes 26 names.
