🙈 Chelsea fans, beware: Hazard originally wanted to play for this club!

If you ask Chelsea fans which player has shaped their club the most in this millennium, you will almost inevitably get the answer "Eden Hazard".

Between 2012 and 2019, the Belgian spent seven years hunting for goals for the Blues, winning two league titles, two Europa Leagues, and being named the Premier League's best player in 2015.

However, if you had asked the young Eden Hazard for a wish, he would probably never have played for Chelsea. On the contrary: As the former world-class left winger revealed in a conversation with influencer Zack Nani, he used to be a huge fan of arch-rivals Arsenal.

🚨🚨🎙️| Eden Hazard reveals he grew up as a Gunner:

“I was a fan of Real Madrid and Thierry Henry, and basically, I loved Arsenal. I was a Gunner when I was young, but I never got in touch with them" 🔴⚪

Just imagine Hazard in the red and white.

"I was a fan of Real Madrid and Thierry Henry, and basically, I loved Arsenal. When I was young, I was a Gunner," he reported.

However, a collaboration with his favorite club never came to be. Instead, Hazard developed into an absolute icon at the neighboring club from West London.
