Eden Hazard is expected to announce on Monday afternoon whether he will
sign for Manchester
United, Manchester
City or Chelsea
The 21-year-old is considered
one of Europe's best young players, and he has already been given an emotional
send-off from his current club Lille, with whom he won the Ligue 1 title in
2010/11.
Hazard tweeted on Monday
morning: "I made my choice, meeting this afternoon."
Chelsea are rated as strong
favourites by the bookmakers, who price him at 1/6 to join the newly-crowned
Champions League winners.
Whichever of the three Premier
League giants gets the nod is expected to fork out around £25 million, plus wages
of £170,000-a-week.
Hazard said he would choose the
team that guarantees him the most playing time in his favoured 'number 10'
position.
He said last week: "I
scored 20 league goals also had the most assists in the league (16), and I
never believed I could possibly come up with such a fantastic set of
statistics.
"Certainly I could not
have made such a decisive contribution had the coach at Lille not changed my
position.
"It is all down to that. I
have always dreamed of playing the No 10 role, and wearing that number on my
back, and you can see what a difference it makes from how many goals I have
scored and set up for others. That will be a consideration when I decide on my
club. Where I will play will influence my thinking on who I should join."
