( CNN ) -- One of the hottest properties in European football , Eden Hazard , has ended months of speculation as to his future by announcing on Twitter he is to join Champions League winners Chelsea . The 21-year-old Belgium international is poised to leave French side Lille and took to the micro-blogging site to reveal his next destination , though the London club have n't yet confirmed the transfer . Hazard won the French league title in 2011 and has scored 20 goals for the club this season . His form attracted attention from a host of clubs including English Premier League champions Manchester City and deposed rivals Manchester United . After a cryptic message on Monday morning when he took to Twitter to announce he had made up his mind , Hazard then later posted : `` I 'm signing for the champion 's league winner . '' Reinventing the wheel : How Guardiola revolutionized football . Chelsea secured their first Champions League crown with a dramatic penalty shootout victory over German club Bayern Munich earlier this month . It sealed a remarkable end to a difficult season in which Portuguese manager Andre Villas-Boas was sacked in March , just nine months after he arrived from Porto . Villas-Boas ' assistant Roberto Di Matteo -- a former Chelsea player -- took over and led the club to two trophies , winning the English FA Cup two weeks before the Champions League final . Despite his success , Chelsea are yet to confirm whether Di Matteo will stay on beyond his temporary contract , which expires at the end of June . In a further boost for the club , goalkeeper Petr Cech , who saved three penalties in the Champions League shootout , has signed a new four-year deal . The Czech keeper has already made more appearances than any other foreign player in the London club 's history , representing Chelsea 369 times . Since joining in 2004 he has won three Premier League titles , four FA Cups and two League Cups . He was instrumental in Chelsea 's Champions League campaign . `` I am really happy to be part of this great club for another four years , '' Cech told the club 's official website . `` I hope the next four years will be as successful as the last eight years I have been at the club . '' Chief executive Ron Gourlay added : `` Chelsea fully appreciates the highly significant contribution Petr has made to the most successful period in the club 's history , and it is very important to our aim of continuing this level of achievement that he has committed himself to the club until 2016 . `` It is clear to anyone who watched the climax to the season just completed that Petr continues to perform as well as any goalkeeper in the world .
