Europe's Juggernauts splash the cash
The transfer window is open and already the financial powerhouses of Europe have begun flexing their muscles. Backed by the fire power of Roman Abromavich, Chelsea were the first club to splash the cash wit the acquisition of Lille's highly rated Belgian playmaker, Eden Hazard. Costing a reported thirty two million sterling, the 21 year old international has come at the kind of expense that is to be expected of a player labelled one of the brightest talents in EUropean Football. Hazard adds flair to Chelsea's already creative midfield - with Spaniard Juan Mata and England's Frank Lampard already in the blue's setup. Euro 2012 golden boot holder Fernando Torres will hopefully be getting top level service from Hazard to turn him into the Premier League Assassin he was during his Liverpool days.
Chelsea are not the only moneybags club in Europe to open the cheque book so far this summer. Former Chelsea manager Carlo Ancelotti has certainly shown that he has real ambition with his new club Paris Saint Germain - after interest in AC Milan star due Thiago Silva and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. With defender Thiago Silva already heading to the French Capital for 42 million euro (£33m), it remains to be seen if the Swedish striker will follow suit. Whilst yet to be confirmed, it seems likely that the ageing Ibrahimovic will seek further challengers and follow his former colleague to the oil rich French giants. It is quite possible that these two stars could be just the tip of the ice burg for PSG. With the aim of becoming the first French side to win the Champions League in nearly two decades, Ancelotti's side will give the defending champions a run for their money.
