Eden Hazard says that Arsene Wenger and compatriot Thomas Vermaelen are strong factors swaying him towards a move to Arsenal.

Lille playmaker Eden Hazard has hinted that he is open to a move to Arsenal this summer despite recently claiming that he would be happy to move to Tottenham Hotspur.

The 21-year-old has been open about his desire to leave France at the end of the season, with Spurs being touted as a possible destination.

Despite initial claims that a switch to White Hart Lane could be on the cards, the Belgium international has now turned his focus to Spurs' arch rivals.

"There are several clubs that interest me in England and Arsenal is really a part," Hazard told Foot Sport magazine. "Of course, it's always more fun when the football is beautiful. In addition, at Arsenal, there is a French coach and French players, as well as my compatriot Thomas Vermaelen.

"[The Premier League is] where I think I can express myself better. Where I can learn more, too. It's difficult to explain why, it's a question of feeling.

"The level of the matches, the atmosphere in the stadiums, this is still well above anything I've experienced so far in France and that attracts me. And I know many people in England - this is another added attraction."

Hazard has also been linked to the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City and Chelsea.
