The Blues winger has been in top form this season as the Stamford Bridge outfit close in on a first Premier League title win in five years.
Hazard himself has been tipped to land the coveted PFA Player of the Year award by many fans and pundits, and was recently compared to legendary Frenchman Zidane by Belgium boss Marc Wilmots.

And speaking to Chelsea's official website, Hazard admitted that he was flattered by the comparison whilst going on to hail Zidane as his favourite footballer of all time.
Hazard explained: "It's a really nice thing to hear because everyone knows Zidane was my role model; we play a different style, but if I can compare to him then it is a great honour for me.
"I watched him so much when I was younger, almost every game I could. He is my favourite player, for sure."
