2716462, The Eden Hazard of Napoli, Dries Mertens

This dude is so criminally underrated its insane. He is Napoli's all time leading goalscorer, and he didn't start every match until Higuain left. Chelsea was supposed to sign him this year, but he chose to stay in Napoli, and rightful so, since he is a legend.

No diss to france, but that Belgium team should have won the world cup. They were that good, and even though I like Lukaku, had they had a more prolific striker, with hazard on one side and dries on the other, it would have been lights out.

He is possibly Napoli's second greatest player of all time, behind Maradona.

And actually Pulisic is more Dries Mertens than he is Hazard. ...I see more similarities between the two, especially in direct play with the ball.
