Dutchman must be used wisely after hitting first hat-trick in England
Lille midfielder Eden Hazard has been confirmed as a transfer target for Arsenal by Manager Arsene Wenger.
Talking on French TV programme Telefoot, the Arsenal Manager admitted that he is interested in the 20-year-old Belgium international.
Wenger said: “He is a player that I have followed for some time, but I do not want to destabilise Lille right now. When he is available for transfer, we will see if there is the possibility to sign him.
Arsenal are close to ending the much anticipated transfer speculation surrounding 17-year-old teenage sensation Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, as they prepare to win the chase with a £10 million bid – according to a report in The Daily Mail.
England’s elite clubs have been tracking the Southampton wonderkid, with reported interest from Liverpool, Manchester City and Newcastle United.
Oxlade-Chamberlain visited Arsenal’s training ground on Friday and met with manager Arsene Wenger and will sign for the Gunners following successful discussions with the club’s director on Wednesday.
It is thought that only a last-minute offer from Manchester City can disrupt the move, as the teenager’s advisors will choose the club whom they believe will best help him develop.
Arsenal lead the race, as they previously dealt with Southampton for Theo Walcott – who has emerged as one of the Gunners’ most promising prospects.
