Lille star Eden Hazard has put a number of Premier League clubs on red alert after admitting he is likely to leave the reigning Ligue 1 champions next summer Sky Sports reports.
The talented Belgian playmaker was the subject of intense transfer speculation over the summer with Arsenal, Liverpool and both Manchester clubs vying for his signature alongside Serie A giants Inter Milan.
However the 20-year-old opted to stay at the Stade Lille-Metropole for this season but has confessed that he is likely to leave the club and France next summer also ruling out a move to big spenders Paris Saint Germain.
“I feel ready to make it to the next level in a great club.” he said.
“I stayed in Lille this season because there were still things I had to work on, things to prove. But now, I’m ready.
“Paris is not for now. After France, I want to go abroad.”
Hazard has been in fine form for Lille this season scoring four goals and assisting as many in 12 games this season. Arsene Wenger has been a long term admirer of the Belgium international and tried to bring him to the Emirates Stadium during the summer window.
However he will now face serious competition from his Premier League rivals with Sir Alex Ferguson reportedly set to strengthen his interest as he strives to add a creative midfielder to his ranks.
