Style
"I watch the French League and Hazard is an excellent player. It would be a major signing for Arsenal, but it's up to different people to decide his destination.
"He needs to reflect and make the choice of club for the style of football.
"If he goes to Spurs, he will be an enemy for me.
"Hazard has the perfect profile for the Premier League because he has swiftness, is a very good dribbler and is able to find spaces for team-mates.
''He is a player who can change the rhythm and provoke problems in defence."
