http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 joining the club in the summer transfer window.
After confirming on his official Twitter account that he was set to join the Champions League winners, Hazard has snubbed the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City. There is expected to be confirmation regarding the move in the upcoming month.
The English midfielder was certain the 21-year-old would bring youth and hunger to the current Chelsea team, which would strengthen them as they prepare for the new season. The Blues will not only attempt to retain the FA Cup and UEFA Champions League but
also attempt to win the English Premier League.
Lampard said while speaking to reporters:
“It is very exciting to hear the news. I haven't seen so much of the French football but everyone I speak to says he is a very top player, a very top young player. If he can bring that youth and hunger and ability into our team, then he'll be very welcome.”
The 33-year-old is currently sidelined with a thigh injury and will have to undergo a scan on Friday, before his involvement in the friendly against Belgium can be determined. In their first friendly before the European Championships, England defeated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Norway-c2974
1-0 and they will be preparing to take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Belgium-c2850 this Saturday.
The midfielder admitted there had been a recent growth in the emergence in talent from Belgium and believed that could go on to do wonders for the national team. Lampard believed that even though Belgium had not made it to the European Championships, they
would prove to be a tough test over the weekend.
He revealed:
“Maybe in recent years they haven't been seen as one of the top nations.
But when you think of the quality players playing around http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 and Europe at the moment in their team, they are going to provide a very tough game for us.”
The Blues vice-captain felt friendlies were important, which is why England would be aiming for a win so that they have the confidence going into the European competition. Lampard concluded:
“Friendlies, going into tournaments are always very important if not the result maybe not so much.”
