Chelsea’s £32m summer arrival Eden Hazard has been voted as the player with the second largest ego in the Premier League, according to a poll run by FootballFanCast.com.

Out of over 1,800 votes, 387 fans (21%) voted the Belgian trickster as the second most big headed after Manchester City cult hero Mario Balotelli who won the gong with 686 votes (38%).

FootballFanCast has been polling 12,000 football fans, picking their brains at what makes a footballer favourable or unfavourable, aiming to reveal a set of respected characteristics amongst supporters.

The set of five individual polls raised by FootballFanCast are hoped to provide a complete profile of modern footballers.

Revealing via his Twitter feed that he would be joining the ‘European Champions’ in a game show-like fashion following on from a long and drawn out summer transfer saga, Hazard was attacked in the media for his so-called ‘flirting’ with numerous football clubs, who were being held to ransom over large transfer fees.

It is without question that the Belgian forward is a fantastic footballer, having dazzled many punditry panels and fans alike during the first eighth of his maiden Premier League campaign, but there seems to be a fine line between confidence and arrogance in the eyes of the supporter.

Making up the numbers in the ego stakes were QPR’s mercurial Moroccan Adel Taarabt with 377 votes (21%), Portuguese pretender Nani with 101 votes (6%) and Spurs’ Emmanuel Adebayor with 91 votes (5%).

    People will always condemn you if you are a big player, many like Cr7 and many hate him, many hate Lionel10 just because he is playing for a successful club like Berca and best player ever 3time world best player under the age of 25. I’m not suprise Hazard came second in the controversial list. People dont like you if you are successful 7assist 2goals in EPL. Bercelona players can tell you how they are being hated around the world because of their success.
