Hazard's Brother Set for France Return

Former Belgian international Thorgan Hazard is reportedly on the verge of returning to French football club Lens after the current season, according to Get French Football News. French media outlets suggest that following the expiration of Hazard's contract with Anderlecht this summer, he will rejoin the team where his career began. The 33-year-old attacking midfielder started his professional journey with the northern French side before being signed by Chelsea in 2012.

At that time, his elder brother Eden Hazard was also with the London club, but unlike his sibling, Thorgan failed to establish himself in the Blues' squad. He was subsequently sold to Borussia Mönchengladbach in 2015. After four years there, the Belgian moved to Dortmund, where he helped the team win the German Cup in the 2020/21 season.

Following a brief loan spell at PSV Eindhoven, Thorgan Hazard returned to his home country with Anderlecht in 2023. Since then, he has made 92 appearances, scoring 21 goals and providing 21 assists. For the Belgian national team, Hazard has netted 9 goals in 47 matches and participated in three major tournaments: the 2018 and 2022 World Cups, and Euro 2020. This season, Lens is competing for the French Ligue 1 title against Paris Saint-Germain, but with five rounds remaining, they trail the Parisians by four points.
