Eden Hazard has put a number of Premier League clubs on red alert after admitting he wants to move to England.
Chelsea, Arsenal, Man United, Man City, Liverpool and Spurs have all been linked with the 21-year-old Belgian winger who currently plays for Lille in Ligue 1.
And he has confirmed that his future will be decided this summer, not in the January transfer window as previously speculated.
"After thinking about it, I'm leaning towards England," he told Canal+. “It's a style of play that suits me and it's there that you can learn the most."
"I want to play for a big club, but also one where I will play every week. I've played more than 100 games in Ligue 1 so I would prefer to go abroad. I want to discover something new and playing abroad is a conscious decision."
Hazard conceded that there a host of clubs which would interest him in the Premier League but insisted: "Nothing has been decided yet.
"I want to play at a big club, but I don't want to sit on the bench. It needs to be a club that plays good football."
Canal+ pundit and former France international Christophe Dugarry replied: "I bet it's Chelsea."
But Hazard kept his cards close to his chest saying only: "Well, you're free to place your bets."
Hazard was elected Ligue 1's Player of the Season after helping Lille to a league and French Cup double last season.
