Chelsea target Lazar Markovic admitted to visiting the Blues' training ground and facilities, but insisted a move has not been agreed.

Markovic has been linked with a move to Stamford Bridge for quite a while and reports magnified when it became apparent that the 18-year-old had paid a visit to Chelsea's training ground in Cobham in January.

The Partizan Belgrade forward acknowledged the trip, but said it did not mean he would eventually sign for Chelsea.

"I was just visiting," he told reporters. "The stadium is great, it's a fantastic city, but it does not mean I have moved to Chelsea.

"I'm used to all kinds of things being written about me and I am sure it will continue until I leave Partizan."

Markovic is reportedly a Chelsea fan, and it is believed he would prefer a move to Stamford Bridge, with Liverpool, Arsenal, Manchester City and Inter Milan also reportedly interested.

While a deal was not announced in January, it is understood Chelsea have come to terms with Partizan over a summer transfer with a fee in the region of £10 million ($16 million) agreed.

Markovic is seen as one of the brightest young talents in Serbia, and has already been capped six times.

Meanwhile, Chelsea have been boosted by the fact that Eden Hazard will not face any further sanction following his red card against Swansea in the League Cup semifinal.

Hazard was sent off after kicking out at a ball boy, who refused to give the ball back to the player as Chelsea looked to find their way back in the tie.

"Chelsea's Eden Hazard will not have his standard three-match sanction for violent conduct increased," the F.A. said in a statement.

"Following a hearing earlier today (Thursday), an independent regulatory commission was of the opinion the existing three-match sanction for this offense was sufficient.

"Hazard was charged by The FA following his side's League Cup semifinal at Swansea City on Jan. 23, 2013.

"The FA alleged that Hazard's behaviour in relation to a Swansea City ball boy, for which the player was dismissed in the 78th minute, constituted violent conduct whereby the standard punishment that would otherwise apply was clearly insufficient.

"The player denied the charge and the matter was dealt with at a non-personal hearing.

"The FA will be reminding all clubs of their responsibilities in ensuring ball boys and other personnel around the pitch act in an appropriate manner at all times and The FA will be liaising with competitions accordingly."

Chelsea, who were ready to appeal if Hazard had his ban increased, also released their own statement expressing their satisfaction at the F.A.'s decision.

"Chelsea Football Club has received the independent commission's ruling that Eden Hazard will not face further sanctions following an incident at the Capital One Cup semi-final at Swansea last Wednesday.

"Despite our disappointment that the FA felt it necessary to take it as far as today's hearing, Chelsea are satisfied that good sense finally prevailed and no extra games were added."

Hazard will serve the final of his three-match suspension in the English Premier League game at Newcastle Saturday.
