Belgian Hazard excited by Chelsea future

The exciting 21-year-old completed his move from French club Lille on Monday after huge speculation over his future during the past few weeks.

"It's a dream come true for me. I can't wait to get started"

Hazard passed a medical and agreed personal terms with Chelsea and he will now join up with his new team-mates in July when they begin pre-season training.
He played for Belgium in their 1-0 international friendly defeat against England at Wembley on Saturday before completing the formalities of his move to Stamford Bridge.
Hazard told Chelsea's official website: "It's a dream come true for me. I can't wait to get started and for the season to start so I can meet my new team-mates, the supporters and all the people who are involved.
"I want to play as many games as possible, score as many goals as possible and win a place in the hearts of the supporters.
"Ultimately, for a player it's all about winning things. I want to win as many trophies as possible, which is another reason why I came here as Chelsea have been winning things for a long time now, and I hope to win many more."

Complicated decision

Chelsea are the UEFA Champions League holders after their stunning penalty shootout victory over Bayern Munich in the final last month, and Hazard admits that played a part in his decision.
"'I watched the Champions League final like everybody else," added Hazard. "It puts a bit more pressure on the players who are already here but they're used to it, and I think I'm pretty good at coping under pressure.

"When Chelsea won the Champions League I thought why not?"

"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?
"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 think I have made the right decision."
Hazard joined Lille from Belgian side Tubize in 2005 and was instrumental as they won the French League and Cup Double in the 2010/11 season.
He scored 21 goals in 48 matches last season, along with 18 assists, as Lille finished third in Ligue 1, scoring a hat-trick in his final appearance.
Hazard made his Belgian debut as a 17-year-old in 2008 and has won 28 caps in total, scoring twice.
Chelsea now have four Belgian players on their books - goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin de Bruyne and Hazard.
