Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc has hinted at a summer move for Chelsea's Eden Hazard.

With Brazilian defender close to agreeing a £50m move to the big-spending Ligue 1 champions, Blanc suggested that a move for his Blues teammate could be in the offing.

“Why do I love Eden Hazard?” Blanc said. “Because he is a player who eliminates... a player can eliminate three, four players 
any time in a game is something else. We don’t know what to expect with these players. They destabilise the opponent.

“But I can love a player, knowing very well that I will not have him. A plan B if he doesn’t come? Of course. There is also a plan C. We will first focus on the areas of game where we want to recruit and propose three solutions.”

However Blanc accepted that PSG's spending will be curtailed after the club were deemed to have breached Uefa's Financial Fair Play rules.

"Unfortunately for us, next year we'll be watched by Uefa. We will not be able to do what we want, but I think we will be able to improve the team anyway. We'll be working within Uefa's new constraints and want between two and four recruits.

"We already have a very good team in my opinion, so it does not take a lot of players. I think we'll get to do what we want to improve the team."
