It’s Chelsea for Hazard

Eden Hazard has announced via his Twitter account that he will join Chelsea this summer

Eden Hazard has announced that he is set to sign for Chelsea. The 21-year-old Lille playmaker will join the newly crowned European champions for £32m on a five‑year deal worth £100,000 a week after tax. The Chelsea owner, Roman Abramovich, who does not have a permanent manager at the club, drove the purchase personally, in what is a stunning statement of intent.

The fee and package for such a young player is eye-watering but Chelsea’s coup is also reflected in their having seen off strong competition from the Premier League champions, Manchester City, and the runners-up Manchester United – who were, by some distance, England’s most consistent clubs last season. Chelsea lagged 25 points behind the pair and Abramovich is determined that his club will mount a more sustained domestic challenge next season. In outmuscling the Manchester clubs for Hazard, he has demonstrated the clout and desire that marked the early period, in particular, of his nine-year Stamford Bridge stewardship.

Eden Hazard’s Last  Decision

Hazard had previously indicated he would be making a move to one of the Manchester clubs, before admitting interest from the UEFA Champions League winners had made him think twice.

“Chelsea makes you hesitate,” he told Canal+ last week. “They’ve won the Champions League and they’ll be in it next season.”

Concerns over playing time at City may also have been a factor in the player’s decision, especially given that the Stamford Bridge outfit have already begun overhauling their squad.

Hazard said of Chelsea: “They have great players and I always said I wanted to be playing.
