Chelsea set to finalize signing of Lens youngster Hazard

Lens sporting director Antoine Sibierski has revealed that youngster Thorgan Hazard will sign with Chelsea tomorrow.

The 19-year old playmaker, who is the younger brother of Blues' summer signing Eden Hazard, has been linked with the West Londoners this week and Lens have suggested a deal is on the verge of being complete.

"It should be official tomorrow," Sibierski told Lens' official website.

"(When I arrived) there was no intention of letting him go and I met him very quickly after my arrival to show my confidence in him.

"He still had one year left and it was proposed he extended it but he told me eye to eye that did not interest him and he wanted to leave Lens.

"I realised 48 hours later why, when I learned Chelsea wanted him. I understand."
