Arsene Wenger has heaped praise on summer transfer target Eden Hazard.

The Lille playmaker has been watched over 20 times by Chelsea but now for the first time, the Gunners chief has discussed his interest in the talented 21-year-old.

"I like Eden Hazard a lot, and for many reasons," Wenger admitted.

"His creative ability, his talent for unbalancing opponents, his vision of the game, and his consummate skill in making the final pass all make him an in-demand player.

"Hazard has what it takes to play for a top-level club, and Arsenal are a top-level club."

Lille are expected to accept bids of around 30million for the Belgian.
