The Belgian star signed off his Lille career in style with a stunning hat-trick as his side rounded off their Ligue 1 campaign with a 4-1 victory over Nancy on Sunday - and it was thought he would then reveal his likely destination this summer.

However, although Hazard admitted Chelsea had joined Manchester City and Manchester United in the race to sign him, he was giving little else away.

Speaking after the game, he told Canal+: "My agent has met with Manchester, and with Chelsea; they give good offers and are great clubs. I don't know. It's not been finalised yet.

"As long as I've not put pen to paper, I won't say where I'm going.

"Chelsea makes you hesitate. They've won the Champions League and they'll be in it next season.

"For now, nothing's been decided, but it will be soon. Now I want to join up with the national team and then go on holiday. It'll do me a lot of good."

Though United, City and Chelsea have been heavily linked, Lille managing director Frederic Paquet actually believes four teams will be chasing Hazard.

"I am not sure he knows (who he will sign for) himself or where he will go, so for the moment, we don't know," said Paquet.

"From my knowledge he has four teams interested in buying him. It is not up to us to tell to him (where to go).

"We have a very strong relationship with the player, we will work together and are waiting for him to make a choice between these four teams."
