Thorgan Hazard The Brother Of Eden Hazard, who already is with Chelsea makes way for The 19-year old, Thorgan Hazard.The 19-year-old joins his older brother Eden at Stamford Bridge after completing his move from the Ligue 2 outfit, and plays in a similar position to his sibling, an attack minded midfielder. Eden completed a move earlier in the summer for around £32 million.Being two years younger than Eden, Thorgan Hazard is yet to earn a cap for Belgium, and has only made 11 appearances for his club side Lens.However, he is a Belgian youth international after representing his nation at Under-16, Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 level, and played at the 2011 European Under-19 Championship.A loan move is a possibility for the young winger in order to get some first-team football, which would be unlikely given Chelsea's strength in depth.For the time being, however, he will slot into the Chelsea Under-21 squad as they continue their pre-season training, while the senior squad is on tour in America.
