Inter president Massimo Moratti has confirmed his side are closely monitoring the situation of highly-rated Lille winger Eden Hazard.

The Belgium international, who is also a target of Arsenal, has impressed in Ligue 1 this term and has been linked with a move away in the summer.

“We are not in negotiations about Hazard, but he is definitely an interesting player for us. My son always tells me that we should make a move for him,” Moratti was quoted as saying by La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“When we’re talking about our current transfer market targets, Hazard would be more in line with our policy than someone like Villarreal’s Giuseppe Rossi, who is a very strong player as well.”

Hazard’s current contract with Lille runs until the summer of 2015, meaning that the Belgian winger would likely command a fee in the region of €20m £16m.
