Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc hints at move for Chelsea's Eden Hazard

Blanc hints at Hazard move

Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc has suggested that the club are considering a summer swoop for Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard.

The Belgium international has been linked to the French champions ever since reports emerged last summer claiming that the club had failed to land the midfielder's signature.

"Why do I love Eden Hazard? Because he is a player who eliminates - a player can eliminate three, four players 
any time in a game is something else," the London Evening Standard quotes Blanc as saying. "We don't know what to expect with these players. They destabilise the opponent.

"But I can love a player, knowing very well that I will not have him. A plan B if he doesn't come? Of course. There is also a plan C. We will first focus on the areas of game where we want to recruit and propose three solutions."

Meanwhile, reports have emerged that PSG are in advanced talks with Chelsea regarding a £50m move for defender David Luiz.
