Topics: Eden Hazard, Chelsea, English Premier League
It is the first time the Belgian player achieves such recognition. The award belonged to Luis Suarez last season.

Just as his teammate Oscar had predicted, it is Eden Hazard who now can brag about being elected as the PFA Player of the Year. After only three years in the Premier League, he has made a huge impact in the league and has scored 36 goals in 95 games, even though he is a midfield player. 

The Belgian sensation has become one of the favorites in Jose Mourinho's system over the past two years that they have worked together. For Mou, it was really important that Hazard signed a contract extension earlier this year, while warning Real Madrid that his player is at least worth €100 million per leg. 

This year he has been vital to Chelsea's efforts to win another title. The 24-year-old footballer has played in 32 of the 33 games his team has disputed. He has scored 13 of the 65 goals for Chelsea this season. He has tallied eight assists throughout this year, just making his presence in the attacking third of the field more noticeable.

The numbers don't lie

With 34.5% of the votes, he was crowned the best player of the league this year. His competition could not keep up with his numbers. Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal came in second with 22%, while Harry Kane from Tottenham stayed further back with 19% of the votes. 

Hazard was also named into the League's Ideal XI along with five teammates. Tottenham, Liverpool, Manchester United and Southampton are also represented in this list with one player each. Chelsea currently leads the EPL with 77 points, ten ahead of Manchester City who won the 2013-2014 season.

The Belgian star is leading the charts in many aspects. He is the first in the EPL when it comes to chances created, dribbles attempted, dribbles won, fouls won, duels won. It might be hard to know if Mou's squad would still be leading the EPL without Chelsea's #10.

Hazard has been making headlines the whole seasonHis name has made headlines throughout the whole season

Hazard was recently linked with Madrid, but he doesn't hope to abandon The Blues, who have helped him establish as one of the best footballers in the world.  He has previously claimed he is happy at Stamford Bridge and has no plans of leaving. 

At 24, he has surprised many with what he has to offer, but he believes the best is yet to come from him. Joining the same conversation as Ronaldo and Messi as the best in the world is something he dreams of.

"If I train every day, if I take pleasure every day, why not? I can reach another level," Hazard said.
