Jase 43,479 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Eden speaking about his brother Thorgan on TCOWS.http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2866009,00.htmlWhen Eden Hazard returns to training at Cobham this week following the pre-season tour of the United States, there will be a very familiar face to greet him.Our June signing from Lille had two weeks to grow accustomed to his new surroundings at the training ground prior to the four-game visit to other side of the Atlantic, and while away, the club signed his younger brother Thorgan from Lens.At 19, Thorgan (pictured below) is two years younger than Eden (pictured above) and has been continuing his pre-season preparations with our Under-21 squad. Last season was his breakthough into first team football at the French second division side, playing just down the road in northern France from top-flight Lille.There are similarities in their story - for instance they both played youth football at Tubize in their native Belgium, but there are differences too, including playing style according to Eden.'My brother is not the same as me because he is not someone who dribbles a lot,' he tells the official Chelsea website.'He is more someone who has a passing game in midfield. He can play on the wings also but his best position is in central midfield, a number 10.'Despite both of us having been at Tubize, we have never played in the same team, so I hope I can play soon alongside my brother in the national team and also for Chelsea.'Eden kept a close eye on Thorgan's progress last year and says his brother doesn't feel he took his chance as well as he wanted when he did play for Lens, yet 14 league appearances is still a healthy return for a teenager in his breakthrough year, and neither of them lack feedback on their performances.Their father is a former footballer and their mother played at the highest domestic level for women in Belgium.'I had my father as a coach for one year and he also followed me after that but not as a coach, more as a fan,' says Eden. 'It was really after the game that he was talking, saying what was good about my game and what wasn't.'Given the family background, the chance of two sons becoming professionals must have increased but in fact there are two more Hazards who could potentially take the same career path - Kylian and Ethan.'One plays in the youth team at Lille and the other plays in Belgium, but he is still very young, he is enjoying football for the first time so we shall see,' says Eden.So which of the four will prove to be the best play in the long run?'We will see at the end of our careers,' he smiles. 'We will see who has won the most trophies.'Note the highlighted part there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 So what are we gonna do with Thorgan? Perhaps, loan him out? Play him in the reserves? Keep him on the bench giving him a bit-part role?And also what number is he gonna wear for Cheslea ?Early suggestion is that we will be looking to loan him out. Saw a tweet on Twitter yesterday that said he was seen at Southampton BUT nothing concrete on that or anything else so far yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase 43,479 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Sorry for the quadruple post(if that is even right) but Sky Sports have reported that Thorgan only costs us 880k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peppi85 110 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Good to see that he has some muscle power now. I've seen him play in Belgium last year for the national U19 team. & he was a very fragile (skinny, thin etc.. ?) player at that time.

FormerRussianSpy 163 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 They do have one of the coolest team crests available on Fifa But why loan Thorgan out if we brought him in to settle in with Eden. Maybe the scouts see more in him than we assumed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diskoviolente 425 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I can imagine Eden and Thorgan practising these back heel flicks for ages when they were kids. Driving teammates/oppostion defenders crazy on school pitches.So, he is not just been bought for settling Eden ? Or he didn´t like London ? Anyways, always good to have prospects like him in the youth teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the scouts see more in him than we assumedBecause he wasn't brought in to help Eden settle. He's a decent young player, we'll see how he develops.

I watched the 0-0 draw with Man City and he was a clear creative force as soon as he came on. Even pulled off a sexy backheel The Skipper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
