Virtually every major European club has been linked with Lille teenager Eden Hazard, but the young Belgian has stated that he is not in a rush to leave the Ligue 1 side.
Having broken into the first team squad on a regular basis last season, Hazard has thrilled fans at the Stade Lille-Municipal this season with his direct dribbling and exciting offensive attributes, which have played no small part in les Dogues climbing as high as second in Le Championnat.
With two goals and five decisive passes to his name already this season, the youngster, who recently celebrated his 19th birthday, has become one of Europe’s hottest properties, though he will not hurry away from the north eastern edge of France.
“We will see at the end of the season, but for now I am very much in Lille, where I still have things to learn,” he said, according to radio station RMC. “I have seen things in the newspapers, but I have not received any concrete offer. We'll see.
“For now, I am from Lille. I am under contract until 2011 and I want to take part in the project of the club.”
In total, Hazard has already played 54 Ligue 1 games for LOSC, scoring six times.
