luke.smith Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Eden Hazard (born 7 January 1991 in La Louvière) is a Belgian football player currently playing for French side Lille OSC in France's highest football division, Ligue 1. He primarily plays as an attacking midfielder. Football career Eden began his career with local Belgian side Royal Stade Brainois before moving to A.F.C. Tubize. It is here where he was spotted by Lille scouts, which prompted the French side to sign him. He would join Lille in 2005 and, despite being so young, was quickly promoted to the senior squad for the 2007-08 season. He was given the number 34 shirt and proceeded to make his debut, at 16, on November 24, 2007 in a Ligue 1 match against AS Nancy coming on as a substitute in the 78th minute. He would make three more substitute appearances that season before being relegated back to Lille's CFA side where he helped a young Lille reserve side finish in a respectable 5th place, which was first among professional sides playing in the group. For the 2008-09 season, Hazard switched to the number 26 jersey and was promoted to the senior squad permanently by new manager Rudi Garcia. So far this season, Eden has made substitute appearances regularly. One of his substitute appearances would be beneficial against AJ Auxerre. With Lille trailing 1-2 in the waning minutes of the match, Hazard, after Lille took a corner kick quickly scooped up a short clearance from Auxerre and took a right-footed shot just outside of the box that beat the keeper drawing the match 2-2 in the 88th minute. With Lille's confidence high, they proceeded to win the match 3-2 in injury time with a goal from Tulio de Melo. Transfer interest Eden has endured heavy interest from prominent clubs in Europe, primarily clubs playing in the Premier League. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester United have been the primary clubs watching the youngster. However, the Belgian proceeded to snub the three English powerhouses, signing an extension with Lille keeping him with the club until 2012. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lisandro Lopez Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I know you meant well in your intentions Joe, but this Eden Hazard thread is far better than the other. So for that reason I'll close the older one and keep this open. He’s an excellent player in real life, on the game he’s a prospect but still underrated a little.
