Free-scoring Hazard can win Ballon d'Or with Chelsea - Shevchenko

The former Blues striker believes that the Belgian can win the game's biggest individual prize if he continues his fine start to the new season

Former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko believes that Blues star Eden Hazard can win the Ballon d’Or if he keeps up his red-hot scoring form.

Hazard has made a fantastic start to the 2018-19 season, scoring eight goals in 10 appearances for Chelsea thus far.

The Belgian has long been considered one of the game's biggest talents, but his inability to hit true scoring heights - his best season with Chelseas saw him score 16 Premier League goals - has kept him from being seriously considered for the game's top individual prize.
