Borussia
Monchengladbach have signed Chelsea midfielder Thorgan Hazard on a permanent
deal.
The 21-year-old has signed a five-year contract that runs until the summer
of 2020 after the Bundesliga club excercised the option on a season-long
loan from the Blues.
Midfielder Hazard, who is the younger brother of Chelsea star Eden, has made
25 appearances in all competitions this season and scored against Hertha
Berlin in December.
Borussia sporting director Max Eberl said: "Thorgan has indicated in the
past few months what a great talent he is.
"We are delighted that we have managed to sign him and that he has decided
to play for Borussia in the next few years."
Hazard joined Chelsea from Lens during the summer of 2012 shorlty after Eden
signed from Lille but has never played a first-team game for the club.
He spent the past two seasons on loan at Belgian side Zulte Waregem where he
made 99 appearances and scored 18 goals.
