Arsenal target Eden Hazard happy to stay at Lille

Eden Hazard: I'm not signing for Arsenal

Eden Hazard has admitted that he wants to remain at French side Lille despite interest from Arsenal.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger has two days left to bring in players to the Emirates before the transfer window closes on Wednesday (August 31).

The 20-year-old midfielder has reportedly been on the Frenchman’s wish list all summer, but has calmed any speculation by saying that he is happy to stay in France.

“We have recruited well and we have some quality players here,” talkSPORT quote Hazard as saying.

“I hope we will have an even better season than last year. Anyway, I enjoy it here. The rumours must stop. I am here.”

Meanwhile, the Premier League side are closing in on Brazilian defender Andre Santos from Fenerbache.
