5 best Chelsea players who are sponsored by Nike
It’s the beginning of a new era at Chelsea. Nike have agreed a 15-year sponsorship deal with the Blues and will now be manufacturing their kit until 2032.
The timing couldn't be any better for the Sportswear company as the English side were just crowned the Premier League champions. Nike have unveiled the Chelsea home kit for the 2017/18 season and have used a darker shade of blue than what the Blues wore in recent years. The immaculate design features little white strokes that are barely seen at first glance.

#5 Eden Hazard
Good with his feet and very difficult to dispossess, Belgian-born Eden Hazard made his Chelsea debut in 2012. The Nike Mercurial Vapour X that he wears enhances his reputation of being a ‘brilliant passer’, helping him run through opponents at lightning speed.
In his debut season for the Blues, Hazard went on to win the UEFA Europa League and was awarded the PFA Young Player of the Year in the season that followed. In 2014–15, he helped Chelsea win the League Cup and the Premier League.
Earlier this year, Hazard was named in the PFA Team of the Year, the fourth time he had achieved the distinction in his five seasons at Chelsea.
