Lille star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 has announced he will be joining the Champions League winners Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
After weeks of speculation linking him to Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, Hazard announced his decision to join the London club. The 21-year-old had decided on a move to the English Premier League but was uncertain as to which club to join.
The 21-year-old kept everyone in suspense when he posted on his official Twitter account that he had “made up his mind” but refused to reveal the team he had selected. It was confirmed by Hazard himself that he would be joining the UEFA Champions League
winners, Chelsea.
It is no secret that Hazard was initially just deciding between the two Manchester sides, but was forced to consider Chelsea after they won the Champions League against Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in a highly dramatic fixture which was decided on
penalties.
His destination was to be http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and Chelsea seemed to provide the best of everything, not only an attractive pay check but also the opportunity of first team football. Manchester City and Manchester United were unable to guarantee a spot in the starting
XI because of which Hazard chose the Blues.
Hazard said in an interview:
“It will anyway be Manchester City, Manchester United or Chelsea.
The decision will depend on the amount of play I would see and the position where I would play.
Not everyone can say that he can make a choice between the three top clubs.”
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786’s triumph in the European competition had played a big role in his decision to choose them over the Manchester sides. He revealed he believed the Blues were a top side and had some of the best players in the world.
He continued:
“Now, yes. They won the Champions League so they will be back in that competition next season.
It's important for me to play in that competition. Chelsea are a great team, with great players.”
Hazard made 48 appearances in the 2011-2012 season for Lille and scored 22 goals along with 16 assists.
