It seems that Chelsea are determined on bringing in all three brothers of the Hazard family together at the club. Chelsea who already have the eldest Hazard, Eden on board as their star man had signed his youngest professional in the Hazard family, Kylian last summer and is now reportedly close to re-signing Thorgan Hazard from Germany.
Thorgan moved to Chelsea back in 2012 and stayed in the club till 2015. However, in his three-year spell at the club, he failed to make his mark at the club and could never make the cut. His loan spell at Borussia Monchengladbach did earn him a few admirers and in February 2015 Thorgan completed a permanent transfer to the German club. He has gone on to make 69 appearances for them scoring 16 goals in the process and has proven himself to be a good player.
As for the Blues, Conte’s switch to a 3-5-2 formation this season has left Chelsea short of players in their attacking positions.
Chelsea currently have Pedro, Hazard, Willian and Ross Barkley as the wingers come attacking midfielders in the senior team. While Hazard is a star and untouchable in the first team, the same cannot be said for the rest of the three options. Barkley is still to prove his mettle after recovering from a long injury.
The case for Pedro and Willian is that both players are highly inconsistent and have a habit of disappearing from matches. While Pedro still fights and puts in an effort to make something happen, Willian simply overcomplicates matters for himself every time he gets the ball.The Brazilian does not release the ball soon enough and cannot be counted as a first team starter by any margin. Although Willian has improved his game after a below standard start to his season, the Brazilian is still far off from playing twice a week at the top level and Pedro despite his efforts is not the man who can add the quality Chelsea need at the top.
This might prompt Thorgan Hazard to move to the west London club where he is likely to get a lot more game time as compared to last time when he failed to make a single first-team appearance.
This is what the player had to say. “England is appealing. But when you speak to players who play there, they also tell you that Germany seems like a great league. We have the best stadiums, the best infrastructures and the atmosphere are also ‘hotter’ than in England. I listen to what is being said about me, but it’s not something I bother myself with. My father deals with off-the-pitch stuff. Apparently, a few clubs are interested but we’ll analyse all that at the end of the season.”
