29-year-old Hazard paid 25.5 million euros to move from Borussia Moenchengladbach to Dortmund in the summer of 2019.

The 2021 German Cup winner has made few appearances for Dortmund this season, starting just three times in the Champions League and just once in the Bundesliga.

The matchday team for Dortmund’s last two games did not feature Hazard, the younger brother of Real Madrid player Eden.

After Cody Gakpo (Liverpool) and Noni Madueke (Chelsea) moved to the Premier League this winter, the Dutch club was searching for replacements.

In a prepared statement, Hazard said the loan deal was “the best solution for everyone at the moment”, saying he was looking forward to “gaining match practice at a club that is very ambitious”.

“Thorgan Hazard has approached us with a desire to go on loan to a club where he plays regularly,” said Dortmund sporting director Sebastian Kehl in a prepared statement.

“Eindhoven, third in the Eredivisie table, is in the middle of a championship fight and is still represented in the Europa League. We wish ‘Toto’ plenty of time and maximum sporting success for the coming months.”
