Hazard Voted EPL Player Of The Year
Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard has been named the Professional Footballers’ Association (PFA) Player of the Year.
Hazard, 24 and last season’s Young Player of the Year, has scored 18 goals in 47 games for the Blues this season, inspiring the current league leaders to the brink of a first Premier League title since 2010.
Having impressed at the World Cup with Belgium, Hazard started the season strongly and then scored four vital goals in a bullish run of form through December.
More recently he has scored five goals in eight games, including the winner in a thrilling 1-0 victory over Manchester United on April 18.
Hazard was rewarded for his sterling performances with the top individual award of the night at the PFA’s awards ceremony at the Grosvenor Hotel in London.
He finished ahead of Tottenham striker Harry Kane – the Young Player of the Year – and Manchester United goalkeeper David de Gea in the vote by his fellow professionals.
Hazard said: “I’m very happy. One day I want to be the best and what I did this season is play very well, Chelsea played very well.
“I don’t know if I deserve to win but it is good for me. It is good, it is better to be voted by the players – they know everything about football. This is good. I’m very happy.
