In-demand Belgian star Eden Hazard says he will sign for <a href="http://www.thenational.ae/topic/organisations/sports-teams/english-premier-league-football-teams/chelsea">Chelsea</a> this summer - ending weeks of speculation over which <a href="http://www.thenational.ae/topic/organisations/sports-teams/english-premier-league-football-teams/">English Premier League</a> side he would move to. The 21-year-old has been the subject of fevered discussion after admitting he wanted to move to <a href="http://www.thenational.ae/topic/organisations/sports-teams/english-premier-league-football-teams/manchester-city">Manchester City</a>, <a href="http://www.thenational.ae/topic/organisations/sports-teams/english-premier-league-football-teams/manchester-united">Manchester United </a>or Chelsea during the transfer window. And last night the Lille playmaker - who is likely to face England in a Euro 2012 warm-up this week - revealed he had opted to join the newly-crowned European champions. "I'm signing for the champion's league winner," he announced on Twitter. However, there has yet to be official confirmation from either Chelsea or Lille that a deal had been reached over the signing of Hazard, who has been rated at £32million. A Chelsea spokesman said tonight: "As with all transfers, when we have something to announce, we will announce it in the usual way." But reports in France suggest the Belgium star has agreed a five-year contract worth as much as £100,000 a week after tax. United and City had looked to be in a two-horse race to sign the player until Chelsea's surprise European Cup victory against Bayern Munich last weekend, which Hazard admitted at the time was a game changer.
