Real Madrid, Chelsea, Man City and now Inter – do Arsenal stand a chance to sign this whizkid?

|

It appears that the rumours that were going around that Eden Hazard had signed a pre-contract deal with Real Madrid are looking less likely with Inter Milan now also joining the race to sign the much talked about Lille star.

Arsenal were linked with Hazard over the summer, however, nothing materialised after Lille said they were not prepared to sell him at the time.

Former Inter Milan defender Javier Zanetti recently let slip that Inter are interested in his signature. In an interview with French Radio RMC Sports, the Argentine said:

‘Hazard is a player I like. I know from a reliable source that the club are following him and are interested in his signature. He is a huge talent, but is very young and can still improve.’

Arsenal are going to find it even harder to sign the young winger, who is regarded as one of the best young talents in Europe, now that Inter Milan have joined the list of teams wanting to get his signature. Arsenal are going to have to beat of the likes of Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester City and now the Italians, who are all keeping an eye on his performances this season.

Can Arsenal compete with these big clubs and steal Eden Hazard from under their noses? Just in terms of finances we could probably afford to sign him. However, the stumbling block for Arsenal will naturally be the wages. Real Madrid, Chelsea and City will all be prepared to offer in the excess of £100,000 a week for the player and I cannot honestly see Arsenal breaking their wage structure to sign Eden Hazard.

  • Pj15 says:

    if he goes to madrid or chelsea, he won’t develop cause we all know their record of youth development.and i think he won’t go to city.and inter will try hard cause they need youngster and are inconistant.we have the upper hand cause he is the cousin of vermelean and friend of gervinho and if we can convince lille with the money and eden that he can be the best under wenger,he will soon be wearing a arsenal shirt.& wenger won’t lose the target he has been monitoring for 2 years.hope TV5 can convince him to join arsenal.

    we will never sign him anyway.. he said last year already that he sees himself in spain. and why should he sign up for a team like arsenal who will not even play champions league next season… and yeah.. i say this as an arsenal fan.

      then you’re a fool! Arsenal are already only 3 points behind a champions league spot. Hazard as you say may well prefer to play in spain, but it won’t be because Arsenal aren’t going to be in the Champions league. Our defence is getting stronger and stronger, TV is almost back, Diaby (who is used to playing the Arsenal way, naturally) is almost back and before we know it, Jack Wilshire will be back in the squad, regardless to it being earlyish next year, I believe it’s going to be at a time that the team are already fighting for that 4th spot! Chelsea away next weekend will determine furthermore our ability as a team. Hazard can chose from the cream of the crop, and a player of his age, so early in his contract will chose the team he wants to play for most and not the team that’s going to pay the best wages! Whatever the contract he gets, it will be a huge improvement anyway. You should have more faith in your team. As much as I’d too love to see Hazard at Arsenal, there is plenty more talent out there and Wenger is the best at spotting it. He was the first to go for Hazard….

    I really do agree wit u,if he wnts 2 go 2 oder club fine.but he shuld hv d case of ricky alvares,lukaku,nd kaka in mind.

    Arsenal is getting stronger. Now the time players are gelling together after shaky starts due to panick buy. And in Europe Arsenal had good reputation in nadvancing to later stages. I think Arsenal has better chance to sign Hazard coz he is developing and it is proven that at Arsenal young players will be developing well as well as Barca. So ask yourself you want big money or career development. If you are smart carreer development will be best choice cause big money will be trailing as well as demand from big clubs in europe as what happen to nasri, ade, henry, cesc, hleb, viera and so on.

    It is fun to speculate, but it will not happen. If the wage struture does not change we lose VanPersie, will not sign Hazard, and will lose more if they develop. There is no accounting for inflation or higher tax rates in engladn..players will not come to a club just because it has a tradition. Tradition is what happened in the past, and this club has got weaker in the last two years.
