By James Ross 28/05/2012

Chelsea appear to have won the race to sign Lille’s highly-rated Belgian winger Eden Hazard.

Tottenham and both Manchester clubs have also expressed an interest in the 21-year-old, but he is expected to move to Stamford Bridge.

Hazard said recently that his future, which has been the subject of months of speculation, would soon be resolved.

He was outstanding in France’s Ligue 1 last season, enhancing his reputation as one of Europe’s brightest prospects.
