Eden Hazard can win Ballon d'Or - Teammate Cecs Fabregas

According to Cecs Fabregas, Chelsea teammate Eden Hazard has all the attributes to win the Ballon d'Or. Hazard was one of the key figures in Chelsea's title success last season, but was pipped to the individual honours by team-mate N'Golo Kante, while his highest placing in the Ballon d'Or ranking has been eighth, back in 2015.

This season has seen Hazard weigh in with eight league goals so far, but the Belgium international has failed to reach the highs of last campaign on a consistent basis.

Fabregas said "He is a player who can do one on one, he can get possession of the ball, he can pass and has great ability with the ball, with Eden, if he wants to win the Ballon d'Or it's up to him. I've played football for a long time and played with top, top players and he has all the quality, I know what he can do. I have told him that it's up to him, I like to be honest, In my opinion, he has the quality. Without the ball he's very difficult to bring down and get the ball off him. When he is on top of his game he's up there with the very best."
