Hazard : "I want to go to Anderlecht"

Thorgan Hazard to Anderlecht, it has been a rumour for some months. Today, after Zulte Waregem lost to Cercle Brugge in the Belgian cup, was the first time Hazard spoke to the press about the rumours.

Yesterday, Zulte Waregem posted an article on their website with a clear message: Thorgan Hazard stays until the end of the season. But, Hazard told RTBF something different : "I wish to leave and play for Anderlecht. I've made that clear to the coach (Francky Dury) and Chelsea. I'm enjoying my stay here but the departures of Habibou and Malanda doesn't make it the same as last season. The team is not the same as before the winter break, and I don't think we can mean something in the later stage of the competition. Thats why I want to leave"

"Lots of people think that moving to Anderlecht wouldn't be a step forward, but that's exactly what it is,you've got to be realistic. Anderlecht and Zulte Waregem aren't on the same level. Anderlecht are superior in Belgium."

" I wasn't promised game time, but I will work hard for it. I really hope it can go through, because it's time for a change."
