Breaking news;
Lille sensation Eden Hazard has hinted on his Twitter page that he has made his mind up on which club he will join in the summer. An announcement is expected soon, perhaps even as early as later this afternoon, however one of this summer’s biggest early transfer mysteries seems to have been solved early with Hazard’s friend Louis Saha revealing on Twitter that Hazard is about to join Chelsea.
Hazard said on Twitter today;
“good afternoon guys. i made up my mind. see you later. thanks”.
Saha then wrote on his Twitter;
Apparently on his way to Chelseafc.
@hazardeden10I cant wait for him to confirm his destination.

No official confirmation has come from Hazard or Chelsea yet but after rumours last week that Hazard was close to arriving at Stamford Bridge, we suspect we are just hours away from an official press release.
The 21-year-old Belgian forward has been hinting at a move to the Premier League all summer with Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur regularly linked with one of European’s most talked about talents. In the end it looks like it is the Blues who have landed their man.
The Daily Mail suggests that Chelsea could have to pay Lille more than £30million for Hazard, offering as much as £170,000 per-week to the player in wages. a

how does that say he’s going to chelsea? The only ‘evidence’ that he’s going to chelsea is that saha says he ‘apparently’ prefers chelsea – has he just made that up?
Guess we will have to wait and see. The strong bet seems to be Chelsea right now…
Saha is a close friend to eden hazard i think he didn’t made that up.
Eden needs to be @ a club where he will get the chance to upgrade his talent,he should be comparing between Leo Messi or Christiano Ronaldo,i don’t think he is going to get that at Stamford Bridge,working with an EXPERIENCED coach as SAF,he should be in the future among the best of the world,but still not with Chelsea,EDEN-its not MONEY who will make you the best,it will you be he will make money when you will be the best!!!!
this makes no sense chelsea have just won the champions league and fa cup and compete for the title very year except this one! man utd have won nothing this season and man city and chelsea have resources!!!!!!!
@ K5: Let the guy choose which club he wants to play for!!!
chelsea would be the best move for him playing time wise. chelsea need a left winger and he can also slot in behind torres if u move mata to the left. man utd have great players in that area, ashley young,nani,valencia and cleverly. yes some are not as good but at chelsea all we have other than mata in that area of the pitch is malouda who is likely to leave, kala who probably is leaving if he hasnt already. sturridge can play left wing but he is a center forward so playing wise chelsea is best option. that being said the more this guy talks the less i want him at my club because he is sounding like a mercenary and while i think most people believe man city is the most unlikely destination coz playig time reasons when u look at all the players they have in hazards position i wouldnt be surprised he goes there for the money and sits on the bench counting his money
I think chelsea is the best club for eden hazard to move on
Matt where on EARTH do you get these exclusives from? Nice call AGAIN.
