Value: £42.24million If there was one player who deserves to be considered capable of becoming the next Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo of world football, it's Eden Hazard. The 23-years-old joined Chelsea from Lille for £32million two and a half seasons ago and is already an indispensable member of the Blues' squad. A testament to his desire to rub shoulders with the best in the business, Hazard has improved his goal and assist records every season since arriving at Stamford Bridge in 2012. It's also worth mentioning the Belgian has recognised the importance of tracking back and helping the defence; perhaps to avoid the same fate as former teammate Juan Mata, but more likely to complement his brilliance on the ball. Reports claim Hazard is eager to pledge his future to Chelsea by signing a new five-year contract worth around £200,000-per-week. Should the deal go ahead, it's not inconceivable to think the wing wizard could break the world transfer record should he ever choose to move away from west London.
