Hazard the man for Mancini

Manchester City boss Roberto Mancini has admitted his interest in Lille's Eden Hazard by saying he would 'be perfect' for the club.

The 21-year-old Belgium international has been heavily linked with City's Premier League rivals Manchester United and Tottenham throughout the course of this season, while Real Madrid and Barcelona have also expressed an interest. Mancini has now openly confirmed that he would like to take the player to the Etihad Stadium this summer. "I like Hazard a lot," the Italian told France Football. "He's a good player, he's young and he would do great things in our team. "Given his technical qualities, City would be the perfect destination for him. I know him and have been following him for a long time. He's a player a lot of teams want."
