Eden Hazard has distanced himself from comments made by Belgium manager Marc Wilmots that he could become one of the top-5 footballers in the world.

"Seriously? He said that? Well, I never like to talk about myself in that way because, to be honest, I don't think I deserve it at the moment,” Hazard told Fifa’s official website. “To be thought of as one of the best five in the world, I would need to score more goals for a start. 

“I would really need to score almost every game because that is what the best players in the world - like Messi and Ronaldo - do every season. 

“These are the guys everyone else has to aim for. It's nice of the coach to say such things, but I wouldn't say the same."
