Chelsea’s official website reports that Kylian Hazard began his football career with White Star Brussels in Belgium before moving on to Zulte-Waregem. In 2015 he moved to Hungary to join Ujpest, where he went on to play 42 times.
He becomes the third Hazard brother to play for Chelsea after Thorgan Hazard played for the club between 2012 and 2015 before leaving to join Borussia Monchengladbach.
He joined Ujpest from Zulte Waregem in 2015 but a knee injury saw him miss the majority of the 2016-17 season.
The youngest Hazard brother, Ethan, is just 13 and is still playing underage football in Belgium.
