Latest under our scout's gaze is Lille's Eden Hazard - recommended by Sky Sports reader Paul Franklin.

The scout reports...

Eden Hazard has been one the revelations of Ligue 1 this term. The diminutive attacking midfielder only played a handful of games last season but he made himself a first choice this term. The Belgium starlet started his education at FC Tubize, before catching the eye of Lille scouts and moving to northern France. He quickly settled and was handed his senior debut at the age of 16. Hazard already has two caps with Belgium An excellent dribbler of the ball, Hazard possesses superb vision which enables him to pick some wonderful passes.

The scout says...

It is little surprise some of Europe's elite have taken a keen interest in Hazard. A big move appears inevitable, but he seems to have his head screwed on and has already admitted he needs to continue his education at Lille.
