Wenger Reveals Arsenal Could have signed Hazard

Manager of Arsenal FC Arsene Wenger has revealed how he would have landed Chelsea's Eden Hazard.

The young Belgian was then being chased by Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur but it was the blues that finally got hold of the 23-year old for €40m.

According to  Wenger “Yes, I wanted to take him,”.

Wenger told BeIN Sports. “I had his agent at my home but again the barrier was financial and Chelsea made an effort that I couldn’t
make.

“He can be one of the players who grows into the [Lionel] Messi, [Cristiano] Ronaldo stature if he continues to develop well.”

Wenger, who has not yet signed a contract extension to stay at the Emirates, also admitted that he would consider coaching in Germany, if he left the Gunners.

“If I were to go somewhere then I think it would be in a different country because I am so much Arsenal that I would not like to coach anywhere else in England,” he remarked.

“Germany [is an option] because I am of German culture a little bit and it’s a country where I have never worked and I am very close to it.”
