General Comments:



If Thorgan Hazard is anything like his brother then he's going to be a talent. Do i think he will be as good as his brother? we will have to wait and see. In what I've seen of Thorgan he looks a very similar player to Eden (lets hope he doesn't have Edens attitude), they even play in the same positions. Not only can he get some goals, he has a great eye for a pass and can create chances out of nothing. I expect that he will sign for Chelsea in the coming days or even hours. Will he be a big hit at Chelsea? It his hard to say this early in his career but he is most definitely got talent and is one for the future. When he joins Chelsea (one step ahead of myself) i expect him to go out on loan, maybe to another premier league club to give him experience. Then Chelsea will slowly mold him into a star like his brother. Overall Thorgan is a fast creative midfielder than can create and score goals.









Summary of Hazard:-



Strengths - fast, score goals, vision, versatile and skilful.



Weaknesses - not the greatest in the air and not very strong.
