http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Eden-Hazard-c11863 to be successful in the English Premier League next season.
After interest from the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City and Chelsea, Hazard has decided on a move to the Champions League winners. The 21-year-old announced his decision on his official Twitter account and it is yet to be confirmed by either
club.
According to the Arsenal defender, Hazard was a brilliant player who would do well in the English Premier League with Chelsea. Vermaelen believed the Lille playmaker would be an instant hit in the top flight English competition with one of the best sides
in the game.
As for Hazard’s decision to choose Chelsea over the likes of Manchester United and Manchester City, Vermaelen revealed he was not certain if he was surprised. While Manchester United were the bigger club in terms of history, Manchester City had won the Premier
League and the Blues had completed the cup double of the FA Cup and the Champions League.
Vermaelen said while speaking to reporters:
“I think he is a great player. Technically he is one of the best in our team. He will do well for Chelsea and I think he will be nice to watch for the spectators when they come to the stadium.
I don't know [if I am surprised he chose http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 ahead of City] because I was not there behind the scenes.”
Meanwhile, in the friendly against England at the Wembley Stadium, Vermaelen was up against Arsenal teammate http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 manager’s decision to include him the squad.
However, he believed the youngster had performed well for the club over the past season and therefore deserved to get a call-up for the international side. Vermaelen believed Oxlade-Chamberlain would go on to do brilliantly in the future.
He continued:
“I was a little bit surprised to see him called up. But in the end he has been a great player for us, for http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429, and I think he deserves to be there.
From my point of view, I think he will do great if he gets some time to play.”
