Eden Hazard aware of Roberto Mancini's presence

Lille playmaker Eden Hazard has admitted that he was made aware of Roberto Mancini's visit during the French side's victory over Valenciennes yesterday.

The Manchester City manager is believed to have been watching the 21-year-old in preparation for a potential bid for the Belgian in the summer.

"I was aware that Roberto Mancini was there," Hazard told French TV channel Canal+.

"The manager (Rudi Garcia) told me. I wasn't thinking about it. I was trying to play to the best of my abilities. We'll see later. I'm concentrating on Lille this season."

Hazard has been linked to a host of clubs including Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur.
