The president of the Hazard brothers' junior club says the Chelsea signings were destined for greatness.

Eden Hazard and brother Thorgan are both tipped for big things at Chelsea.

"You could tell straight away that Eden was special," said Royal Stade Brainois president and close family friend Alain Pauly to the Sunday Mirror. "He was a superhero for his team from the start and he has been a ­superhero ever since.

"The teams Eden played for at our club would win 5-0, 6-0 or 7-0 and Eden would always score four or five of the goals. It was not fair really because he was too good.

"The family house is next to our pitch, so maybe that is what inspired Eden and Thorgan at an early age."
