Chelsea weigh up Hazard swoop

WANTED ... Eden Hazard
CHELSEA boss Andre Villas-Boas is plotting a summer swoop for highly-rated Lille playmaker Eden Hazard.
The Blues are weighing up a £25million bid for the Belgian international, who has scored seven goals in 19 league games this season.
However, Lille are likely to resist that approach as they value the 21-year-old nearer £33m.
Hazard is one of the most sought after players in Europe and is also being watched by Arsenal, Juventus, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
And in October, he revealed he is ready to quit the Ligue 1 outfit to move to one of Europe's big guns.
Hazard said: "I am ready to go to the next level at a big club.
"I won't leave in January. It would be silly to do so but it's my last season at Lille.
"I stayed with Lille this year because I still had things to work on and prove but now I'm ready.
"I feel able to play in another country."
