Hazard: I'm going to Chelsea

Tue, 29 May 08:33:44 2012

Eden Hazard has finally ended speculation about his future by announcing he has decided to join Chelsea next season.

The 21-year-old Lille playmaker, who had long been linked with a move to the Barclays Premier League, revealed he had chosen the newly-crowned European champions on his official Twitter account.

He wrote: "I'm signing for the champion's league winner."

Hazard earlier continued to keep fans of several clubs in suspense by posting he had "made up his mind" who he was going to join but declined to name the team in question.

There has been no official confirmation from either Chelsea or Lille that a deal had been reached over the signing of Hazard, who has been rated at £32million.

But reports in France suggest the Belgium star has agreed a five-year contract worth as much as £100,000 a week after tax.

  1. it seems strange to me, pep will bring a whole new­ style of football to chelsea , why on earth would they­ want to change style when their present style has­ already ripped peps style to pieces?

  2. lmao this joke of a football/buisness club never learn­ do they, you may be able to buy a few trophies and­ fluke 1 or 2 like the CL but you will never have any­ class like liverpool, man utd, spurs, arsenal, everton,­ toon and even notts forest and that's that.

  5. Just maybe this Belgian boyo with the dodgy name of­ 'Hazard' can 'walk-the-walk' as well as­ 'talk-the-talk' as he's allegedly a­ religious person too... we'll see... if not Chelsea­ will get shot of him just like Saloman Kalou and­ Florent Malouda, and Alex, and Joe Cole and Jose­ Bosingwa, not to mention the soon-to-be-sorely-missed­ Didier Drogbal... who were all certanly much better­ than merely average English Premier league players, but­ not of a high enough standard for Abramovich,­ Chelsea's owner, who'll brook nothing under 50­ million U.K. pounds for a club bench-mark, as with­ Fernando Torres or just not of Lionel Messi prolific­ genius level or Pep Guardiola winning management­ standard; which is why Chelsea's owner won't be­ giving the deserving Roberto Di Matteo the­ manager's job after guiding the previous no-hopers­ of the aging team, who're still mostly there, (i.e.­ John Terry, Frank Lampard and Ashley Cole), to both­ domestic F.A. Cup success and European Championship Cup­ glory in just 3 short months... No other Chelsea­ manager has had that sort of silverware proof of having­ won stuff since that Italian geezer did it with the­ team that Jose mourinho built... and nobody has won the­ European Championship for Chelsea bewfore now... not­ even 'The Special One' managed to do that for­ Chelsea... but Roberto Di Matteo has done so...

  7. What an arrogant troutsniffer. Maybe he should play a­ few games in the EPL before mouthing off and giving out­ warnings. Can't see EPL defenders taking any of his­ cr4p. On the plus side it looks like van Persie's­ other half has decided he is staying at Arsenal. ­ Result!
