Club legend Eden Hazard has now named a surprising player as the most talented player he played with while he was a Chelsea player.
He told the Obi One podcast that it was actually a forgotten man who blew him away most when he was at Stamford Bridge.
Hazard was arguably the best player in the Premier League when he was here, leaving the Blues on a high with a Europa League victory inspired by him.
During his seven years at the club, he would have featured alongside a set of seriously impressive players.
Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and John Terry spring to mind as some of the best player in the club’s history, however Hazard had a completely leftfield name on his mind when asked who the most talented he had ever played with was.
He said: “The only player where I said wow was Gael Kakuta. You asked me the most talented player, it was him by far. I think he went a bit too early to Chelsea, at 16 it was a huge step.”
Hazard names Kakuta as most talented
Kakuta was seen as a seriously impressive young talent after he was picked up for the youth sides at an extremely young age.

However, he went on to only play 16 games in all competitions for the club, with the winger not finding the net for the club.
The 32-year-old is currently featuring in the second division in France for Amiens, where he is a regular starter on the wing and in attacking midfield.
Kakuta will ultimately always go down as one of those extremely promising talents who never made it at Stamford Bridge, with the likes of Charly Musonda and now Callum Hudson-Odoi joining him.
The latter is finally looking to regain some form, scoring again at the weekend for new club Nottingham Forest.
