They could use him for the 8, Rsca has a problem over there since Biglia left..

Thorgan making Belgian football better. Likely to be sent to Vitesse next.

In that specific role i could see a potential Lampard remplacement in 2 or 3 years may be. But i saw it in KDB too tbh...

Same here, so fingers crossed

Chelsea scout Piet de Visser thinks it's a bad idea to move Thorgan to Anderlecht.

"Why should we let him go to a team that isn't doing better then Zulte-Waregem at the moment."

De Visser praised Zulte's coach Franky Dury, saying he played a big part in the development of the player the last 2 seasons. "We won't let him go to Anderlecht that easy."

PSV were interested to buy Thorgan, but Chelsea sent them walking.

They don't want to sell, and Thorgan wants to stay in Belgium a little longer.

Thorgan Hazard

Age: 20

Nationality: Belgium

Club: Zulte Waregem (on loan from Chelsea)

Position: Winger

Good fit for: A Premier League loan move

The word

Hazard is hoping to follow in his brother's footsteps at Stamford Bridge but he is aware that a loan switch elsewhere is likely to be his next move. "After one-and-a-half years at Zulte Waregem I feel I'm getting closer to the level of Chelsea's first team, but I'm not there yet," he told Sport Voetbal Magazine. "I don't think Chelsea will be the next step in my career. If you see the difficult times Kevin De Bruyne, a Belgian international, is having at Chelsea, if you see how many other stars they have on loan all over Europe. I hope my next step will be one abroad, on loan."

Kristof's expert view

The brother of Eden is the best midfielder in the Belgian league this season, scoring nine times and assisting 10. He's a different type of player as his brother, who's an explosive winger. He's less talented, but more determined and physically stronger than Eden. He plays as a real number 10, has a good technique, dribbles well, has excellent passing and scores goals. He also has pace and dictates the tempo.

He has a good chance of winning the Golden Boot, the award for the best player of 2013 in the Belgian League. He really is the beating heart of Zulte Waregem. He is likely to play there for the rest of the season unless Chelsea decide to call him back (which he doesn't expect) although Anderlecht are also keen to take him for six months. Next year he wants to join a team outside of Belgium on loan and his ultimate dream is to play with his brother in the same team.

^Thorgan's extract from this article: http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11095/9094094/targets-belgium

Basically Sky Sports' Belgian correspondent's views on 5 young Belgians that are being linked with PL teams. Seems like he rates Thorgan Hazard highly, and he is actually quite critical of other players in the article.

Nice article. Surprised he has said Thorgan is physically stronger than Eden though. Thorgan is a lot younger and has been playing in a league that is not as physical as the Premier League. Even though Eden Hazard is not the biggest he has one of the best balance in the whole of the PL which is why it is so difficult to knock him off the ball. Thunk that is too early to say he is stronger than Eden but if he recognises that Thorgan is also got good balance that is a good sign as when he gets older, this will help him as he will have the pace and technique combined with the balance to make it in the PL imo.

"He's less talented, but more determined and physically stronger than Eden."

What a bullshit sentence. How is Eden not "determined"? And they seem to have a similar build.

[blu35_army 551]

Loan to Everton or Southampton more interesting to me...

[Reddish-Blue 2,495]

Maybe in two years time he'll be ready to play for Chelsea

In Belgium, physically stronger means capable of running longer forn longer period.

Eden is physically stronger. He's more powerful than Thorgan.

Anderlecht is still pushing to loan Thorgan Hazard untill the end of the season, if possible with a option to buy.

Zulte saying they have a strong case and that Thorgan's contract won't allow him to leave now.

Tbc..

I still think Chelsea would be a step too high for him. Should work perfectly well in a mid-table or subtop PL side though...

Consider him some free millions.
