Chelsea are expected to unveil Eden Hazard at a press conference on Sunday, according to French daily L’Equipe.
The Champions League winners are expected to pay Lille €40M for the Belgian forward, while Hazard himself has agreed a five-year contract worth a whopping £200,000 per week.
The current Ligue 1 Player of the Year is in London for Belgium’s international friendly against England today and will stay on after that match has been completed.
Hazard announced that he had chosen to join Chelsea on Monday after the Stamford Bridge outfit gave him permission to confirm the move via his personal Twitter account.
Given that the forward snubbed interest from both Manchester City and Manchester United in favour of joining Chelsea, he is sure to face a barrage of questions probing his reasoning when he is presented to the press.
Hazard will join countrymen Romelu Lukaku, Thibaut Courtois and Kevin De Bruyne on Chelsea’s books.
