Chelsea reject: How Eden Hazard forced me out of Stamford Bridge

Thorgan Hazard left Chelsea for Borussis Monchengladbach

THORGAN HAZARD had to escape Chelsea because he was known simply as Eden's brother.

 

The 22-year-old, two years the junior of Eden, signed for Chelsea in 2012 - the same summer as his brother.

And While Eden was the £32million super star signing from Lille, Thorgan, despite signing from Lens, was seen as part of the package.

But it became tedious and Thorgan admits he had to get away so he could make a name for himself.

He left on loan for Zulte Waregem and then Borussia Monchengladbach, who he eventually joined permanently this summer.

"I thought it would be hard at Chelsea, being Eden’s brother," he told The Times.

"It is for this that I stayed only for one month there and then left on loan. I want to go my own way.

"Before going to Belgium, I was just the brother of Eden. In Belgium I showed what I can do myself.

"Afterwards they did not say that I was Eden’s brother."
