Eden Hazard must make himself a killer or a bully to defenders if the Chelsea winger is to be considered among the best in the world, insists Gary Neville. Hazard is poised to win PFA Player of the Year as Chelsea storm towards the Barclays Premier League title, but Neville says Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi are 'in outer space' by comparison. The former Manchester United right-back feels Hazard is on par with Arjen Robben, Thomas Muller, Neymar, Gareth Bale and James Rodriguez, but that he is not as ruthless as the rest. Chelsea winger Eden Hazard must make himself a killer or a bully to defenders, insists Gary Neville . Hazard is poised to win PFA Player of the Year as Chelsea storm towards the Premier League title . Cristiano Ronaldo pictured during a Real Madrid training session this week ahead of their La Liga match . Neville says Ronaldo and Barcelona star Lionel Messi are 'in outer space' by comparison to other players . 'Hazard needs to bully defenders more, become a killer, somebody who gives full-backs nightmares before they play against him,' Neville wrote in his Daily Telegraph column. 'And at 24, now is the time for him to make those improvements. First of all, he needs to add ruthlessness to his game because he still lets too many defenders off the hook. 'As a right-back, I confess that Hazard would have been a nightmare to play against because he has a low centre of gravity, loads of skill and trickery, two strong feet and the ability to spin in behind you. 'But he is not a bully in the manner of Muller, Neymar or Robben, somebody who will keep coming at you, time and time again. I do not believe that Hazard is capable of having a 46-goal season like Ronaldo, but he can certainly hit the mid-20s.' Hazard is preparing to face Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, when Jose Mourinho's men can go one step closer to clinching the title.
