Chelsea chasing Eden Hazard

Chelsea are the latest club to have expressed an interest in Lille midfielder Eden Hazard. Arsenal have been chasing the Belgian international since the beginning of the year, but Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas has instructed his scouts to prepare a thorough dossier on the player.

According to reports from France, Chelsea have now expressed an interest in the talented playmaker, and could make an offer for Hazard next summer.

Lille have already told Arsenal that they are not prepared to sell the midfielder.

However, Arsenal are planning to make an improved offer of 32m GBP in January for the Belgian.

But Chelsea are ready to battle with the Gunners for his coveted signature, and could make an offer as soon as next summer.
