Anthony Gordon Hails Eden Hazard as Premier League’s Greatest Winger
Newcastle United’s rising star Anthony Gordon has unleashed a bold declaration about one of Chelsea’s most electrifying legends, Eden Hazard, igniting nostalgia among football fans. The 22-year-old winger has called Hazard “the best Premier League winger” ever, cementing the Belgian maestro’s legacy as one of the most talented players to ever grace English football.
Hazard, who dazzled for Chelsea between 2012 and 2019, didn’t just play football—he orchestrated magic on the pitch. Winning two Premier League titles and leaving defenders in his wake, Hazard became the embodiment of brilliance. Gordon, speaking to Sky Sports, put it plainly: “If you’re talking about pure ability, Hazard was phenomenal. The best winger the Premier League has ever seen.”
Hazard’s time at Chelsea was nothing short of extraordinary. Known for his jaw-dropping dribbles, precision passes, and an uncanny ability to score goals out of nothing, he redefined what it meant to be a winger. In his seven-year tenure, Hazard not only lit up Stamford Bridge but left defenders across England with nightmares and fans with unforgettable moments.
Could Cole Palmer Be Chelsea’s Next Hazard?
As Hazard enjoys his well-earned retirement, a new name is emerging at Stamford Bridge—Cole Palmer. The 22-year-old forward is taking the Premier League by storm, producing sensational performances that have drawn comparisons to the Belgian icon.
Palmer, with an astonishing 16 goals and six assists in just 16 Premier League matches this season, has become the heartbeat of Chelsea’s attack. If he continues at this blistering pace, he could follow in Hazard’s footsteps and clinch the coveted PFA Players’ Player of the Year award—an honor Hazard claimed in the 2014/15 season.
Chelsea fans, still dreaming of Hazard’s golden era, might just be witnessing the dawn of a new one. Palmer is proving himself to be a worthy successor, reigniting the club’s ambitions and reminding fans of the sheer joy of watching a generational talent.
As Gordon’s bold proclamation reverberates through the football world, one thing is clear: Eden Hazard’s legend remains untouchable, but Chelsea’s future might just hold a new king.
