 Hazard has been linked to a number of clubs, with Arsenal, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and many other clubs willing to battle it out for his signature.<br />

"I am ready to go to the next level at a big club," Hazard told French newspaper L'Equipe. "I won't leave in January. It would be silly to do so. But it's my last season at Lille.<br />

"I stayed with Lille this year because I still had things to work on and prove. But now I'm ready. I feel able to play in another country."<br />

However, Hazard made it clear that he had no intention of joining cash rich Paris Saint-Germain as he did not want to sign for a rival club.<br />

"Paris is not for now," he added. "Paris is magical, as they say. Of course it attracts me. But for now, no, I will not go there.<br />

"I do not want to go to a rival of Lille's in France. It would be inconsistent. The fans would not understand."<br />

It is believed that any offers will have to be in the region of €35 million as his contract with Lille lasts till 2015.
