Eden Hazard has been officially inducted into the Premier League's "Hall of Fame", which honors legends who have left a deep mark in the history of the tournament. Although he was not successful at Real Madrid, his years at Chelsea were enough for the English to call him a "football artist".

Hazard joined Chelsea in 2012 and quickly became the club's brightest star. He played 352 games, scored 110 goals and provided 52 assists in seven seasons. With two Premier League titles and a host of classy moments, the Belgian became an icon at Stamford Bridge.

According to the Premier League homepage, Hazard was recognized as the best player of the 2010s. From 2012 to 2019, he created 595 scoring chances - the most in the league - and completed 909 dribbles, numbers that clearly show his talent and explosiveness. The 2014/15 season was the peak, when Hazard made 180 dribbles, and was voted Man of the Match 62 times, only behind Harry Kane.

Hazard is the sixth Chelsea player to be inducted into the Hall of Fame, alongside Alan Shearer, Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard, Steven Gerrard, David Beckham, Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney. This title concludes the glorious career of a talent that captivated the entire Premier League, an artist with the ball and a symbol of beauty in English football.
