For the first time, Arsenal's interest in Eden Hazard has been confirmed. Hazard's agent revealed that Arsene Wenger had been in touch with Lille several times regarding a move for the talented Belgian midfielder.
Apparently, the Gunners had offers of 15m, 18m, 22m and then finally 23m rejected for the Lille man.
"Arsenal wanted to buy Eden", Hazard's agent John Bico revealed.
"Wenger was insistent, but Lille rejected every offer the Gunners made."
Lille decided to keep Hazard, and now Real Madrid are weighing up a move.
