Euro glory convinced Hazard to sign
Chelsea,
Last updated:
Eden Hazard says he made up his mind over a move to Chelsea after watching the Blues win the Champions League.
Hazard was one of the most sought after players in Europe but Chelsea fought off rival bids from Manchester United and City to wrap up a deal for the talented midfielder.
The Belgium international took his time before deciding to opt for Stamford Bridge but watching Chelsea defeat Bayern Munich swung it for the player.
The chance to live in London also played a huge part in his decision and Hazard cannot wait to get started.
"It's true that initially there were a number of clubs in for me, but when Chelsea won the Champions League I thought: 'Why not?'," he revealed.
"It was a complicated decision with lots of different factors involved, but the fact that they have great players and are European champions, also coming to London - I know people here already and there are a few French speakers - I think I have made the right decision."
