Arsenal transfer target Eden Hazard has hinted that he would be tempted by a move to the Emirates Stadium this summer

The Premier League giants have been tracking the young Belgium international for some time and, it is thought that Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is set to make a bid for the youngster.

Now the player himself has declared his interest in signing for the north London club.

According to reports, Inter Milan are gearing up for a bid for the little winger, with Barcelona and Real Madrid also rumoured to be interested in signing the 18-year-old.

However, despite the reported interest from Italy, Hazard has said that he would snub a move to San Siro in favour of a transfer to the Emirates Stadium or Santiago Bernabeu.

Speaking to The Sun, Hazard said, "Real Madrid and Arsenal are the clubs I dreamed of joining as a child.

"If I joined Inter or Barcelona and could play football there, then that would be very good, but Real and Arsenal are really great and play at a very high technical level."

The young Belgian has made just four appearances for his country, and is only just beginning to establish himself as a first team player at Lille, but Europe's elite feel he has enough potential to earn a big money move abroad during the summer.

Hazard has been with Lille for four years, having been promoted to the first team in 2007, and has made 34 league appearances for the club, scoring four goals.
