Chelsea midfielder Thorgan Hazard has been named Belgium Pro Player of the Year.

Eden Hazard's brother beat competition from Michy Batshuayi (Standard), Hamdi Harbaoui (Tun/Lokeren), Maxime Lestienne (Club Brugge) and Hans Vanaken (Lokeren) to land the coveted prize.

The 21-year-old capped off an impressive second season on loan with Pro League outfit Zulte Waregem by securing the gong today, saying afterward: "It is a special honour to be elected best player of the season.

"I am proud to stand here alongside Bacca and Perisic."
