      Hazard keeping suitors on their toes

      Part of the art of flirting is keeping the other person on their toes, by the looks of things Eden Hazard is quite the flirt as he continues to keep the swooning Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea guessing.

      After netting a hattrick against Nancy in his final appearance for Lille last night, the Belgian was expected to say where he would be heading next.

      All he said though, was that Champions League winners Chelsea had joined the Manchester duo as contenders.

      According to Team Talk, the 21 year old told Canal+ after the game: 'My agent has met with Manchester, and with Chelsea; they give good offers and are great clubs. I don't know. It's not been finalised yet.

      'As long as I've not put pen to paper, I won't say where I'm going.

      'Chelsea makes you hesitate. They've won the Champions League and they'll be in it next season.

      'For now, nothing's been decided, but it will be soon. Now I want to join up with the national team and then go on holiday. It'll do me a lot of good.'

      For now though, his 20 goals in Ligue 1 last season will have fired off a significant warning to Premier League defences.
