Hazard was tempted by Spurs

Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has revealed that he was tempted to move to Tottenham Hotspur before signing for the Blues in the summer.

The Belgian ace was linked with much of Europe's elite, including several Premier League outfits, while at LOSC Lille.

The 21-year-old ended up moving to Stamford Bridge for £32m but admits that he was interested in a move to White Hart Lane.

"It's true that Tottenham tempted me because it was a young team which was third in the league," Hazard told France Football.

"Unfortunately, the end of the season did not go well. They did not reach the Champions League, which tipped the balance.

"The title of European champions, and Champions League qualification, counted for a lot because the club was not doing well in the league. Once Chelsea won the final, it was a natural choice."

Chelsea travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal on Saturday.
