Hazard Wins Premier League Award

It’s been confirmed on Tuesday morning that Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard has won the August Premier League player of the month award.

Hazard beat off competition from Hull’s Curtis Davies, Man City’s Raheem Sterling and Manchester United’s Antonio Valencia.

In total, Hazard received 41% of the public vote, while Valencia was second with 34%.

There’s no doubt that Hazard now seems a completely different player to the one who turned out for Chelsea last season.

During August, Hazard scored two Premier League goals. They came in wins against West Ham and Burnley.

Moreover, the Belgium international completed 17 take-ons, he had a 58% shot accuracy, he had 14 shots over the course of the month, while he made 152 successful passes in Chelsea’s three opening EPL matches.

Chelsea, of course, have won their first three matches of the season along with Manchester United and Man City.

The Blues return to action this weekend with an away trip to Swansea.

Positive News For Chelsea Fans As Hazard Meets Conte

Antonio Conte has met with Eden Hazard to discuss the Belgian international’s future and expects him to now stay at Stamford Bridge.

 

That’s the word from the Daily Mail, who claim that despite rumours of late suggesting that the former Lille man would be the first major casualty of Conte’s west London campaign, he is now set to continue his career in England.

In the rumoured meeting, Conte is believed to have outlined how Hazard will fit into his Chelsea squad next season.

That may come as a relative surprise to some, particularly given how poorly Hazard has fared with Chelsea this year. The 25-year-old was named the PFA Player of the Year during the 2014/15 campaign but has failed to score a single goal this term.
