The move brings to an end Hazard’s glittering Chelsea career. It is not only the raft of collective and individual honours the Belgian racked up during his seven seasons at Stamford Bridge that will live long in the memory; his skill, speed and smile will never be forgotten by anyone who had the good fortune of watching him at work in a Chelsea shirt.

Debut season

Where to start? The first six minutes of Hazard’s Premier League debut seems as good a place as any, for that was all the time it took for the then 21-year-old to serve notice of his mercurial talent and thrilling wing play. On a sunny August afternoon in Wigan, he first assisted Branislav Ivanovic with a defence-splitting pass, and then he was too skilful for Ivan Ramis, who brought him down for a penalty converted by Frank Lampard.
