BREAKING NEWS: Eden Hazard Names the ONE Arsenal Player He Loves Watching the Most — “He Reminds Me of Myself!” (Not Bukayo Saka)
Former Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard has never been shy about praising players who catch his eye — and this time, the Belgian legend has surprised fans by revealing the one Arsenal player he loves watching all the time.
In his own words, Hazard said:
“I’ve been in this league for a long time, but honestly, I haven’t seen such a dangerously aggressive player like him before. He reminds me of myself during my playing days.”
That’s high praise coming from a man who terrorized Premier League defenders for nearly a decade. And no, the player he’s referring to isn’t Bukayo Saka.
Eden Hazard’s Legacy and Connection to Arsenal
During his time at Chelsea, Eden Hazard was often the source of frustration for Arsenal fans. His dazzling dribbles, quick feet, and unpredictable flair made him one of the most feared wingers in the Premier League.
Hazard’s success at Stamford Bridge — where he won multiple domestic titles — eventually earned him a dream move to Real Madrid, though injuries and inconsistency prevented him from replicating his Premier League form in Spain.
Despite the intense London rivalry, Hazard has shown deep respect for certain Arsenal players — both past and present.
Hazard’s Admiration for Arsenal Icon Thierry Henry
Interestingly, Hazard once admitted that Thierry Henry — one of Arsenal’s greatest-ever players — was better than him.
When asked in an interview with EA Sports which players he considered better than himself, Hazard stayed silent until Henry’s name came up.
“Ah, come on! I go with Titi [Thierry Henry],” he said with a smile.
It’s clear that the former Chelsea star holds Henry in the highest regard — a sentiment shared by countless fans and football legends worldwide.
Mutual Respect: Henry on Hazard
The admiration goes both ways. Thierry Henry, who worked with Hazard during his time as assistant coach for Belgium, has also spoken glowingly about the winger’s natural talent.
“My favourite player of the last few years is Eden Hazard,” Henry once admitted.
“He’s such an instinctive player. You can’t clip the wings of a player like that — he just does amazing things.”
Henry highlighted how Hazard’s creativity and spontaneity made him one of the most entertaining players to watch, both as a coach and as a fan.
Premier League Icons Who Defined an Era
Both Eden Hazard and Thierry Henry will forever be remembered as two of the most gifted players to grace the Premier League.
While Henry’s power and precision made him Arsenal’s all-time top scorer, Hazard’s artistry and close control brought Chelsea fans countless moments of brilliance.
And now, Hazard’s recent comments show just how much he respects Arsenal’s current generation — with one player, in particular, reminding him of his own fearless, attacking style.
