Chelsea in Lille talks over first option for Man Utd target Hazard

Eden Hazard is committed to Lille - for this season. The Belgium winger is reluctant to quit Lille midseason, particularly as he's already Cup-tied from the Champions League.

Those close to Hazard have told L'Equipe the midfielder has ruled out leaving in January, despite the firm interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.
