Hazard doesn't rule out return to France, but not with PSG

Eden Hazard has ruled out the notion of a potential move to Paris Saint Germain in an interview with French outlet SFR Sport.

The Chelsea winger has long been a target of the Ligue 1 leaders but has refuted the suggestion that he could play for the Parisian outfit in the future.

The Belgian would instead only return to France to rejoin former club Lille, whom he helped to a shock title in 2011, stating: “Big stars want to play in Ligue 1, and that is a good thing.  But if I am to return it will be to play for Lille – they are my club.”

The winger has only recently returned to fitness and was left out of the starting XI against Arsenal at the weekend to the surprise of many as Conte looks to ease his star man back into action.

Hazard was the highest rated player in the Premier League last season (7.81), helping the Blues to a second title during his time at the club, scoring 16 goals.

PSG are not the only high profile club to have been heavily linked with a move for the Belgium international in recent years, with Real Madrid also harbouring an interest in the 26-year-old, who has three years still to run on his current deal.
