      Hazard! Saga finally ends.

      It was long, it was boring, it almost reached the footballing equivalent of having to watch a box set of Last of the Summer Wine episodes on a rainy Sunday afternoon, but fans will rejoice at the news that the transfer of Eden Hazard from Lille to a major European club has finally ended.

      And that major club has turned out to be Chelsea as the Blues have officially announced it on their website a week after Hazard suggested on his Twitter page that he was off to Stamford Bridge ahead of the plethora of clubs that were reportedly after him after his 22 goal salvo, he also registered 18 assists, for Lille this season.

      Yes! You can breathe now, Hazard has moved, the medical is done, no more speculation!! YAY!

      Sky Sports are reporting the fee at a huge £32 million with a weekly wage of £170,000 on a five year deal and Hazard will join up with his new team-mates in July, meaning he can have a long summer holiday with the smug knowledge that he will be returning to a fortune.

      The 21 year old Belgian winger, who can play in a variety of attacking positions, told Chelsea's official site that he was delighted to join the club, but the Daily Mail suggested his words were not all pleasantry as he claimed Chelsea's project was much better than fellow interested party, Manchester United's.

      If that bit of business wasn't enough for big-spending Chelsea, the Telegraph are also saying that Porto winger Hulk will be the next Stamford Bridge import as they close in on his signature for a fee in excess of £30 million.
