It looks like it. Until they beat Reading 4-2 this week, Chelsea had not been top of the league since 2010, and according to England defender Gary Cahill, Hazard was the main reason for their success - three out of Chelsea's four goals in that match were created by him, and his assists have been similarly successful in other matches.

Hazard is from Belgium and is still a player for the Belgian national team. He has been a professional footballer since the age of 16 and began his international career at 17. He joined Chelsea in June 2012 and has attracted a lot of attention and praise from the start. The transfer fee for him joining Chelsea was said to be well over £30 million, and Hazard will be paid around £170,000 a week. So far Chelsea seem to feel that they've made a good bargain.
