Eden Hazard is expected to announce on Monday afternoon whether he will sign for Manchester United, Manchester City or Chelsea.The 21-year-old is considered one of Europe's best young players, and he has already been given an emotional send-off from his current club Lille, with whom he won the Ligue 1 title in 2010/11. Hazard tweeted on Monday morning: "I made my choice, meeting this afternoon." Chelsea are rated as strong favourites by the bookmakers, who price him at 1/6 to join the newly-crowned Champions League winners. Whichever of the three Premier League giants gets the nod is expected to fork out around £25 million, plus wages of £170,000-a-week. Hazard said he would choose the team that guarantees him the most playing time in his favoured 'number 10' position. He said last week: "I scored 20 league goals also had the most assists in the league (16), and I never believed I could possibly come up with such a fantastic set of statistics. "Certainly I could not have made such a decisive contribution had the coach at Lille not changed my position. "It is all down to that. I have always dreamed of playing the No 10 role, and wearing that number on my back, and you can see what a difference it makes from how many goals I have scored and set up for others. That will be a consideration when I decide on my club. Where I will play will influence my thinking on who I should join." |
