He’s no big Ed! But £32m star knows exactly what he wants
EDEN PROJECT ... Eden Hazard was hellbent on getting to the top

EDEN HAZARD is clearly a £32million superstar who knows exactly what he wants.

Chelsea’s new Belgian ace may have got his dream move to the Premier League in the bag.

A whopping £170,000-a-week wage packet is sorted too.

But Hazard knew from the age of 14 he was destined for the top.

SunSport travelled to Lille to discover just what makes the boy from Belgium tick — and one thing became clear.

This is no Mario Balotelli-type, big-time Charlie.

Instead there is a burning desire to become the best on the planet. It is in his blood.

After all, both parents are sports teachers — dad Thierry played in the Belgian second division and two of his three brothers have been snapped up by pro clubs in France.

Lille academy director Jean-Michel Vandamme was the first to set eyes on a the skinny wonderkid.

And Vandamme knows a thing or two about spotting talent — he is the man who discovered French superstar Franck Ribery.

Vandamme said: “I remember my scouts telling me that they have seen a great player in Brussels so I went to see.

“He was very skinny but his brain was very fast. He could analyse the game quicker than the others.
