Chelsea Legend and Real Madrid Flop Eden Hazard says £54m Man City star is easily the best player in the Premier League

Eden Hazard demands £54 million. The Manchester City great is without a doubt the best Premier League player.
Eden Hazard believes Kevin De Bruyne, a Manchester City midfielder, is the best player in the Premier League hands down.

As the two primary stars of Belgium’s “Golden Generation” in the early 2010s, the retiring winger and De Bruyne sparked controversy.

Many anticipated Belgium to win international competitions since they had developed two excellent players and had access to experienced players such as Jan Vertonghen and Vincent Kompany.

Eden Hazard says Kevin De Bruyne is the Premier League’s best player.
Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne went on to become superstars at Chelsea and Manchester City, respectively, despite the fact that they failed to bring home any silverware for Belgium.

From 2015 until 2019, the Belgian tandem competed in the Premier League, until Hazard decided to join Real Madrid.

Eden Hazard was questioned if he is the best player in the Premier League right now after training, playing, and competing with Kevin De Bruyne.

Yes, without a doubt. By a large margin. On The Obi One Podcast, he said, “Not even close,” when asked about the £54 million man (The Telegraph).

“He sees stuff that other players don’t. That’s it.

And, because of the freedom [Pep] Guardiola gives him, Kevin [De Bruyne] is always free when he has the ball. And as a result, he is the best because Kevin Free is the best player in the world, not just the Premier League.

Kevin De Bruyne is allowed to perform magic.
Eden Hazard raises a fascinating argument about how Kevin De Bruyne’s degree of freedom under Pep Guardiola allows him to perform at a world-class standard.

It has been publicly noted how much Guardiola loves his well-defined tactical system and football theories, but De Bruyne never looks to be limited in any way.

The 32-year-old is allowed the freedom to take risks whenever he gets the ball, even if it means City may lose it in the end.

But perhaps it is this freedom that gives Kevin De Bruyne confidence when attempting to create something from nothing.

Risks are a natural part of De Bruyne’s game because he creates in enormous amounts, and it looks that Guardiola noticed this from the beginning.
