Lille insist Eden Hazard will stay at the club until the end of the season following reports that Chelsea are closing in on a £25million deal.

Reports on Tuesday morning had suggested that Chelsea had "provisionally agreed terms" with the highly-rated 21-year-old (see below), who is arguably the most sought-after player in Europe.

Hazard has been linked with a number of clubs from across Europe in recent weeks, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Man Utd all keen, along with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The Belgium international has already confirmed that he will leave Lille at some point this year, but despite a report in a British newspaper suggesting a move to Stamford Bridge was close, club director Jean-Michel Vandamme insists no deal has been agreed.

Vandamme told reporters: "Yes, we have received a lot of very interesting proposals, but the clubs want the player immediately and on this we have a very clear idea: Hazard will remain at least until the end of the season.

"He will not go."

Despite Vandamme's comments, bookmakers Sky Bet on Tuesday afternoon made Chelsea 6/4 favourites to be Hazard's next club, slashing their odds on a January move to Stamford Bridge as a result of the reports emerging earlier in the day.
