Lille forward Eden Hazard has stated that he will leave the French side at the end of the current campaign, likely moving to a bigger club in either England or Spain.

The highly-rated Hazard is considered to be one of the top young talents in Europe, with Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea having been linked to Hazard in England, while Real Madrid has also shown interest.

"I am ready to go to the next level at a big club," Hazard told French newspaper L'Equipe. "I won't leave in January. It would be silly to do so. But it's my last season at Lille.

"I stayed with Lille this year because I still had things to work on and prove. But now I'm ready. I feel able to play in another country."

The 20-year-old has been capped more than 20 times by Belgium on the international level and has tallied four goals in 12 Ligue 1 appearances this season.
