Belgium forward Eden Hazard has signed a new five-and-a-half year contract with Chelsea, the Premier League leaders said on Thursday.
.
“I am very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea,” Hazard, who been in dazzling form this season with 13 goals in 36 matches, told Chelea’s website (www.chelseafc.com).
.
“I always try to give pleasure to the supporters with my style of play and it is nice to know they appreciate my work.”
.
Hazard was voted Chelsea’s Player of the Year last season despite some criticism from manager Jose Mourinho who described him as not a team player.
.
But Mourinho believes Hazard has evolved into one of the world’s best attacking talents and there is more to come.
.
‘He is already a top player and his evolution has been fantastic. He is still very young and he can become the best,” Mourinho said.
.
“I am very happy that Eden has signed a new contract. It shows he believes in the club’s coaching staff and players to help him become the best player in the world.”
