An important clue has emerged which could mean that Manchester City have won the race to sign Eden Hazard, according to French daily <em>Le Parisien</em>.<br />
<br />
The highly rated Belgian forward looks to be at the centre of a transfer battle between Roberto Mancini’s Citizens and their local rivals Manchester United.<br />
<br />
Hazard is set to leave French champions Lille this summer in search of greener pastures, though his destination remains unknown for now.<br />

But the fact that the French club are arranging for Manchester City to visit their new stadium, the Grand Stade Lille, for a friendly to mark the ground’s opening, has raised suspicions that the 21-year-old Hazard may be set for Eastlands.<br />
<br />
A friendly visit is often confirmed as part of many transfer deals and a match against Manchester City in the summer would add an extra sum to any transfer concluded with the Citizens.<br />
