The Arsenal revealed how close he was to sign Belgium striker Eden Hazard for Arsenal.
Chelsea’s talisman, Eden Hazard, decided to sign for Chelsea in 2012 from Lille, for £32m. Eden who was elected PFA young player of the year, recently was on the verge of signing for the gunners. The International Belgium striker was subject of a mass scramble as the likes of Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham Hotspurs but it was Arsenal who have tracking him for a very long time, and Arsene Wenger revealed he invited Eden Hazard’s agent at his home, hoping Eden would agree to join Arsenal shortly before Eden hazard swooped in.
Wenger told BeIn Sports, “Yes, I wanted to take him, I had his agent at my home but again the barrier was financial and Chelsea made an effort that I couldn’t make. He can be one of the players who grows into the Messi, Ronaldo stature if he continues to develop well.”

Cardiff city how now been relegated to the Championship along with Fulham FC after failing to climb the bottom of the Premier League table.
