Eden Hazard’s best is yet to come, according to Danny Higginbotham. Eden Hazard is nowhere near his prime yet, despite an impressive start to the season and an outstanding World Cup, according to Danny Higginbotham. The Belgium international scored a hat-trick in Chelsea’s 4-1 win over Cardiff on Saturday and now has five goals in as many Premier League appearances this campaign.
Eden Hazard has not travelled with Chelsea to Greece where they will get their Europa League campaign underway against PAOK. Higginbotham is convinced the best is yet to come from the playmaker, however, insisting: “I don’t think he is anywhere near his prime yet.
“He’s an incredible player, a world class player, who is performing unbelievably well. When you watch him play, no matter how many times he gets kicked, or however many times he gets fouled, he just gets on with it.
“I think he understands that is just part and parcel of football. He is an extraordinary footballer who we are very fortunate to have in the Premier League and who Chelsea are very fortunate to have.
“He is a player who just seems to get better and better and I don’t think he is anywhere near his prime yet.”
Hazard has remained in England after asking to be left out of the squad for the Blues’ Europa League game against PAOK in Greece on Thursday.
