....Part 2 begins
5. Arsenal F.C-
After their miserable performances this season, Arsene Wenger has got quite a stick from his own fans to spend money. A potential knockout blow was handed to Arsenal in the champions league by AC Milan after a 4-0 rout at San Siro and Wenger surely looks to be ready for rebuilding this side by axing many of his players this summer. Moreover, Hazard has announced that he would love to renew his partnership with the former Lille man Gervinho and also wants a re union with his cousin Vermaelen . He is also impressed by the style of Arsenal's play. There have been rumours that a deal has already been struck with Lille and is kept under wraps till summer.
My Verdict: One of the most likeliest destinations as he would get guaranteed play time and also Arsenal's youth academy is well known to give chance to their young stars. The only thing which keeps Hazard is the reluctance of Arsene to spend. Moreover, Arsenal need to get the 4th Champions league spot to grab this young star.
6. Chelsea F.C-
Another London side who are keen on Hazard is Chelsea F.C. With AVB removing the old and dead logs from his team, he would love to acquire the services of this youngster.Hazard has himself praised Chelsea for their quality but Chelsea's inconsistent performances this season have got them fighting for the 4th spot with Arsenal rather than challenge for the title. This has put AVB under a lot of pressure from the Chelsea owner only a few know whether Chelsea will have a new manager by the end of this league or not.
My Verdict: Outbidding their rivals Arsenal for the priced youngster should not be a problem. Moreover Hazard's claims of joining a side with history and also the uncertain atmosphere in the club can work against them. With Sturridge also unhappy it remains to be seen whether Hazard would star a new era in Chelsea or not. Chelsea too need the 4th Champions League spot
7. Tottenham Hotspurs F.C
The Power of London has certainly shifted this season as Tottenaham are the onlyLondon team in England to challenge the two Manchester clubs. With experience and youth, both on their side and a great manager Harry Redknapp, this team could provide a perfect platform for Hazard to showcase his skills. He, too has recently admitted that Tottenham is one such club he is certainly thinking of going to. Moreover his father speaking that he would love his son to go to a club which is not the best and a one below the best further adds fuel to fire that this could be his place afteral.
My Verdict: Likely contenders for grabbing Hazard, Moreover they are well on their way to Champions league next year. The only two problems that might occur are outbidding the other teams and also the speculation of Harry Redknapp ready for the England job after this summer. This might change Hazard's mind to look for other options.
Final Verdict:
Chelsea and Arsenal lead the chase for signing the youngster as they both can give him playing time and also help him achieve Champions league berth. Tottenham are snapping on their heels for signing Hazard. Real Madrid take the 4th spot in the chase followed by City and Barcleona.
Hazard should most likely end up either in Arsenal or Chelsea depending on who gets the Champions League berth.
