Arsenal favourites to rope in Eden Hazard
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 has been rumoured to be on his way to Arsenal for quite some time. It now appears as if the player might finally be on his way to the Emirates.
The 19-year-old who has spent three seasons with Lille has been more than just impressive. He has often looked to be the biggest fish in the Lille pond, despite still being a teenager. Due to that very reason, the player has been linked with Arsenal who
have proved to be the cultivating ground for young players over the last couple of years.
Hazard is known for his creativity, speed and technical ability. His playing style has been compared to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cristiano-Ronaldo-c9629. He twice won UNFP Young Player of the Year in Ligue 1 in 2009 and 2010. He has been playing football from a very young
age and made his professional debut at the age of 16 for Lille. He also plays for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 national team.
However, something that might potentially hold the deal up is the fact that Lille will be looking to get around fifteen million pounds for the player. That is a price tag that Arsenal might find a little too high for Hazard, but if they are determined to
land the player, then Wenger might just make an exception in this case.
It was previously reported that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 and Real Madrid were also interested in landing the player. However, according to sources close to the player, Arsenal are the clear frontrunners to landing the player.
Arsenal already possess some of the best wingers and side-midfielders in the world, but the addition of Hazard to the squad could pose a bit of problem for the team. This is because Arsenal would then have to manage a future replacement for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Andrei-Arshavin-c5771,
who is nearing his retirement sooner rather than later.
The inclusion of the fiery winger to the side would also allow http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Samir-Nasri-c32360 to move back to the centre of the pitch from where he is most lethal. Overall, this move is one that could prove to be a masterstroke for the Gunners, provided it goes through.
