If you ask Chelsea fans which player has most shaped their club in this millennium, you will almost inevitably get the answer "Eden Hazard."

Between 2012 and 2019, the Belgian spent seven years on the hunt for goals with the Blues, winning the championship twice, the Europa League twice, and in 2015, he was also named the best player in the Premier League.

However, if you had asked the young Eden Hazard for a wish, he probably would never have played for Chelsea. Quite the opposite: as the former world-class left winger revealed in a conversation with influencer Zack Nani, he used to be a passionate supporter of city rival FC Arsenal.

"I was a fan of Real Madrid and Thierry Henry, and basically, I loved Arsenal. When I was young, I was a Gunner," he reported.

But a collaboration with his favorite club was never meant to be. Instead, Hazard became an absolute icon at the neighbor from West London.
