Chelsea transfer news: Eden Hazard admits PSG move is 'hard to say no to'

Admission: Hazard would find it difficult to turn down PSG
Sam Long15 February 2016

Chelsea forward Eden Hazard has admitted he would find it difficult to turn down a move to Paris Saint-Germain in the future.

The 25-year-old was a shining light during the Blues' title triumph last season but has struggled for consistency this term.

The west Londoners are languishing in 12th place in the Premier League table, despite this weekend's 5-1 win over Newcastle, and the Belgium international has failed to score in 23 top-flight appearances since August.

Chelsea are set to face Laurent Blanc's side in the Champions League last-16 tomorrow night and Hazard has refused to rule out a potential switch to the Parc des Princes as he believes they can challenge for Europe's top prize.

"It's hard to say no to PSG, as with all teams capable of winning the Champions League," Hazard told Le Parisien.

"Now, PSG are part of this category. And for me, winning the Champions League is the main objective.

"But for now, I do not dwell on it."

Hazard has been regularly linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer and recently conceded he has ambitions to play under current Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane during his career.
