Manchester City have reportedly given Eden Hazard a tour of the Cheshire housing market as they look to entice him to the Etihad Stadium.
The Lille star revealed his desire to play in the Premier League following his team's 2-1 win over Paris Saint-Germain last week.
Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are all said to be chasing the 21-year-old, who is regarded as one of Europe's brightest young talents.
However, it appears to be the Citizens who are putting in the early leg work after the Daily Mail reported that club officials took him to see plush houses in Alderley Edge and Prestbury.
Hazard, who has 26 caps for Belgium, moved to Lille as a youth player in 2005.
