Borussia Monchengladbach have declared they have a loan deal for Chelsea midfielder Thorgan Hazard.
Hazard had also attracted interest from Valencia this week.
But Gladbach sporting director Max Eberl told the Rheinischen Post: "We were always going to make an attacking signing, no matter what the situation is with Luuk de Jong and Peniel Mlapa, and this will be Thorgan Hazard.
"We have exchanged contracts with Chelsea and we have agreed with Thorgan, we have all agreed and now just need to sign the contracts."
