Eden Hazard staying with Lille

Hazard staying with Lille

Lille midfielder Eden Hazard is not expected to leave the French club during the January transfer window.

The 21-year-old midfielder has been linked with a number of high-profile moves away from the Ligue 1 side.

However, the Belgian international is likely to sign a contract elsewhere at the end of the season.

"We have received some very interesting propositions for Hazard, but the player will stay with us until at least the end of the season," academy director Jean-Michel Vandamme told calciomercato.com.

"He certainly won't leave until then. Then, if we can find someone willing to make an appropriate offer, we will look to reach an agreement.

"Interest from Inter Milan? There are clubs in all of the major European leagues that want him. His price? I think a player like Hazard is worth at least €40m (£33m)."

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City have also been rumoured to be interested in Hazard.
