According to ESPN, Paris Saint Germain captain Thiago Silva has claimed that the French club would welcome Chelsea superstar Eden Hazard with open arms, if the talented winger ever decided to make the switch back to France.

Hazard is undoubtedly the man of the moment in the Barclays Premier League, and is improving his performances game after game. The Belgian made the move to Stamford Bridge in the summer of 2012, when work on PSG’s mega project with their new owner was underway. Hazard made an instant impression, and his attacking style combined with a natural flair made him a fan favorite. In his first season, he scored scored 9 goals, and has outdone himself halfway through the current season by scoring 12 goals so far.

Jose Mourinho has had a big role to play in Hazard’s burst of form this season, as he does for so many talents around the world. The 23-year old’s work rate defensively has been drastically improved by the Portuguese manager, and the efforts on the training ground have been replicated on the pitch.

PSG are financially one of the strongest teams around the world, and can cough up large amounts of money for talented players. However, it seems unlikely that Roman Abramovich would let his most prized asset leave the club so soon.
