Eden Hazard

[Nic! 301]

He's talking now. Main reason for joining Chelsea: playing time.

Other reasons:

- there's a new project going on in Chelsea, players leaving, players coming

- won Champions League

- Lukaku convinced me

(more to come)

Key Things so far:

He's in London

They asked him why Chelsea over Barca Real:

I choose Chelsea because they have the best project. My priority is to play (something on those lines).

On Chelsea Manager:

I'm not sure if RDM will be manager but I'll speak with him on my position.

Converstation with Abramovich:

He loves football. Also both Hazard and Abramovich had similar ideas.

UCL Win:

UCL win made him think it was between Utd and Chelsea, he likes Chelsea's youth too.

Interview just finished. Very positive interview IMO. Also this should put a stop to the paranoia now surely.

@hazardeden10 on #RMC : "…If I play well enough at #Chelsea I could win my place in the starting team. 2/2" #RMCsport #Chelsea #Hazard

He is talking about Real madrid here. Looks like he wants to play with them later on.

That settles everything

I'm not sure I want him if he views the club as a stepping stone. I listened to the interview, my french is not that good, but I don't remember him saying that about Real.

He didn't. The interviewer asked him why not Real or Barca'.

Chelsea had been regularly linked with a move for Hazard over previous months, along with other major European clubs who had scouted the youngster extensively, but with the Blues' disappointing league form during the 2011-12 season increasing the likelihood that they would miss out on Champions League qualification as the season drew to a close, the media reported that Hazard had narrowed his options down to the two major Manchester clubs, with the opportunity to play in Europe's premier competition seen as a pre-requisite.

However after Chelsea won the 2012 UEFA Champions League they secured entry into the following season's tournament, and reports emerged from France that Hazard was once again considering a move to Stamford Bridge. On 28 May 2012 Hazard announced on Twitter that he would be signing for the "Champions League winner". Joining for a reported fee of £32 million, the signing was confirmed by Chelsea on 4 June after the Belgian completed his medical.

Upon signing Hazard stated "It's a dream come true for me. I can't wait to get started and for the season to start so I can meet my new team-mates, the supporters and all the people who are involved. I want to play as many games as possible, score as many goals as possible and win a place in the hearts of the supporters." He commented that his decision to move to Stamford Bridge was due to a variety of factors, including the opportunity to live in London, to be part of a young, emerging Chelsea side, and to play for a club which continued to win silverware after years of success: "Ultimately, for a player it's all about winning things; I want to win as many trophies as possible, which is another reason why I came here as Chelsea have been winning things for a long time now, and I hope to win many more during my time here." Hazard also revealed that former Chelsea player Joe Cole a team-mate at Lille had recommended a move to Chelsea: "I spoke to Joe Cole and what he said above all was that Chelsea was the right club for me. As somebody who loves the club himself, he said he could really see me in the shirt, so when I see him next I'll tell him he was right."
