Not Van Dijk, Pires Call Eden Hazard the 2018-19 Premier League Best Player Candidate

DBasia.news –  The fight for the 2018-19 Premier League title is very fierce. The top standings, Manchester City, are only one point adrift of Liverpool in second place.

Not only about which team has the most chance of winning the championship title, the competition for the top four positions is also no less fierce. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Arsenal are both eyeing this position to compete in the 2019 Champions League competition.

In addition to the two things above, the public also seems to have their own hero about who is the player who will be chosen as the best this season. Liverpool’s tough defender, Virgil van Dijk is considered to be the most decent figure, especially if he sees a consistent performance that he displays with the Reds.

But different things were delivered by Arsenal legend Robert Pires. According to him, the star of Chelsea, Eden Hazard is more feasible to be selected as the best Premier League player this season.

“I think Eden Hazard is the best player in the Premier League competition. In the past few times, I have heard that many judged if (Virgil) Van Dijk was seeded to win the 2018/19 Premier League best player, but there is only one the winner, and his name is Eden Hazard, “Pires said as quoted by Express.

“I watched the Chelsea match just because I wanted to see Hazard play. They were very fortunate to have a player like Hazard because he could do things that no player in the world could not do,” added the Frenchman.

Hazard’s performance in the 2018/19 season is indeed quite special, under the direction of Maurizio Sarri, the Belgian player is still an irreplaceable figure on the team’s front line. Hazard has also scored 15 goals and 13 assists in all competitions.

If the 28-year-old is successful in being selected as the best Premier League 2018/19 season player, the award will be the second best player for him. Hazard has won it in the 2014/15 season.
