You can take Gervinho but not Eden Hazard

Lille has confirmed not to sell Eden hazard but has given green signal to Gervinho for 'Advance talks'

Lille general director Frederic Paquet has confirmed that Lille will not be selling Eden Hazard this summer to any other clubs. Despites rumors linked to Hazard with different English clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City, Lille general director has made his decision not to sell his striker.

Lille star Eden Hazard was crowned the player of the year in Ligue 1 this season. Hazard was the key player for Lille to win Coupe de France and Ligue 1.

Although, Arsenal targeted both Eden hazard and Gervinho, they have failed to lure Eden Hazard but finalized the deal with Gervinho. Lille has revealed that they had turned down €12 million offer from Tottenham Hotspur last week for Gervinho and have entered into the negotiation with Gervinho.

General Director Frederic Paquet said,

"Gervinho wants to leave the club and is in advanced talks with Arsenal. We will soon discuss with them to see what they want. He has expressed his desire to move to England. We'll see what happens now."

"Paris Saint-Germain have made an enquiry, but we have no intention of selling to domestic rivals. Gervinho chose to leave for England, so that limits the options. We will soon meet with Arsenal and see what they offer. He clearly is a player of value."

"Today it's clear, and we've agreed with the player, we want to be together next season. On the other side, it would be a lie to say that we would not be made to think by an indecent sum. There are no numbers."

"Nothing is better than something." No matters Eden Hazard rejects our offer, we will have Gervinho standing in red and white. Cheers Gunners.
