Eden hazard - Would you like him here?
Posted: Fri Dec 17, 2010 9:30 pmThe 19 year old has ruled out moves to Real and Chelsea, and us and Arsenal have been linked with him a lot recently. I think he is going to turn out being one hell of a player, and should be snapped up now before it is too late. Even Zidane said, “Eden is technically gifted and very fast. He will be a major star in the future. I would take him to Real Madrid with my eyes closed."
Hazard keen on Liverpool and Arsenal

Belgium starlet Eden Hazard has talked up the prospect of a move to Liverpool or Arsenal in the summer after apparently rejecting a move to Chelsea.
Lille winger Hazard, 19, is rated among the most promising talents in Europe and has for some time been talking up the prospect of a move to Real Madrid or Arsenal.
Zinedine Zidane has recommended the player to Madrid, but Hazard has now said he believes his first-team opportunities would be restricted at the Bernabeu and that he would prefer to continue his development at a club like Arsenal.
"I could have gone [to Chelsea] last June, but I was not ready to make that big leap," he said. "Recently, the press have been writing about interest from Liverpool, and it is nice to hear your name being mentioned everywhere, especially with the best teams in the world.
"If I do leave at the end of the season, I don't want to go somewhere I will be on the bench, and it will be difficult to break through in a team like Real, where Ronaldo and Kaka will be my competitors.
"But there are teams like Arsenal, where youngsters can grow more easily into the first team and make their mark.
"I will not leave for another French club because, with 100 matches under my belt for Lille, I don't think I have to prove my qualities for a team in the same league."
Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson saw Hazard in action during a recent scouting trip in France.
I personally see him going to Arsenal, but would love to have him here. Anyone else feel the same?
