Jose Mourinho, who managed Hazard at Chelsea, praised him: “Everybody knows that you belong there. You are one of the most amazing players that I ever worked with, and of course you have to be there. You are in the Hall of Fame so now you stay in our memories - and by the way, thank you so much for helping me win my last Premier League title!” Hazard's induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame cements his status as one of the greatest players in Chelsea's history.




Speaking about his induction, he said: “My dream was to play at the highest level and I did it, so I am really happy. Week after week, you have big games, and at the end of the season, you lift a trophy with your teammates. It's a beautiful feeling. 


“When you score goals, when you win trophies, you just want more. I am proud to know I did a few good things for seven years in the Premier League. 


“I just wanted to have fun on the pitch and entertain the fans who bought tickets or watched on TV. Being recognised in this way is special for me and my family.
