Chelsea have completed a deal to sign Belgium international Eden Hazard
from French side Lille.
The 21 year old midfielder has passed a medical and agreed personal terms with the Blues.
"When they won the Champions League I told myself, 'Why
not Chelsea?'," said Hazard.
"There was a struggle between Chelsea and [Manchester]
United but, for me, Chelsea has the best project. It's a wonderful club."
"The [Chelsea] team is
young and I have a better chance to play there. "If I play well enough at Chelsea, I could win my place
in the starting team."
Hazard won the league and cup double with Lille in 2010-11
and, in his final season at the Ligue 1 club, he scored 21 goals in 48 games. He also scored a hat-trick in his last game for Lille against Nancy last month
Eden Hazard is the second major addition to Chelsea after the German international Marko Marin
