Chelsea transfer news
According to the Metro, the Blues were advised to snap up the exciting young Belgian from Lille, as he had not yet signed a professional contract with the French club.
However, Chelsea did not push through with the deal, despite later coming back in for Hazard in 2012, signing him for a massive £32m.
Hazard, now 24 years old, is regarded as one of the best players in the world and has been a big hit at Stamford Bridge since he finally made the move to England.
