Incoming Chelsea star Eden Hazard admits he held talks with club owner Roman Abramovich before deciding to leave Lille.
The deal is expected to be ratified when the French transfer window re-opens on June 13 before Hazard meets up with his new team-mates for pre-season training in early July.
"I spoke with Abramovich, he is very simple and loves football. We were on the same wavelength, he wants to confirm Chelsea's position at the top," said Hazard.
"Chelsea have made a good investment for me, but I did not put any pressure on them."
