Eden Hazard Calls Mousa Dembélé Most Underrated Player

Eden Hazard, a former star for Chelsea and Real Madrid, has identified Mousa Dembélé as the most underrated player in football. Hazard, who retired in 2023 at the age of 35, had a distinguished career, playing for top clubs and the Belgian national team.

He emphasized that while many players receive credit for their performances, Dembélé, who played for Tottenham and Fulham, does not get the recognition he deserves. Hazard described Dembélé as one of the best midfielders during his prime, noting that he was not only skilled but also pivotal in matches.

Hazard recalled that Dembélé's contributions often went unnoticed, despite his exceptional ability to handle the ball. Former Fulham manager Martin Jol also praised Dembélé, stating he was one of the best players he had ever seen in terms of ball handling.

Hazard's comments reflect a broader sentiment that some players, like Dembélé, excel without the accolades typically associated with their talents.
