Your support makes all the difference.The voting for the PFA Player of the Year is already underway and Eden Hazard has revealed which three players he thinks are the best in the Premier League.
The Chelsea playmaker won the award in 2015 when the Blues won the Premier League and was pipped to the crown last season by teammate N’Golo Kante.
Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne and Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah are the two leading contenders this season but Hazard said he voted for his Belgian teammate, who looks set to guide Pep Guardiola’s side to the title.
Hazard also named Harry Kane in his top three but admitted none of them surpass De Bruyne.
“He is the best. He has got everything. He defends, crosses the ball, assists and scores in big games,” Hazard told Sky Sports. “He's fantastic. He's clever on and off the pitch.
“He's in full confidence as he's playing in the best team in the Premier League this year.
“When he's on the pitch with good players, he's one of the best in the world. Every time he has the ball at his feet he can do something magic.
“I could have also voted for Salah because I played with him and he's my friend but Salah is more a striker than a player.”
