PARIS: Eden Hazard has committed his future to Chelsea and sees it as the perfect club to help him fulfill his potential.
The Belgium winger is one of the English Premier League’s best players, and his hat-trick against Newcastle last weekend took his league tally to 12 goals. Contracted to Chelsea until 2017, he was linked with a potential move to Paris Saint-Germain during last month’s transfer window, but has no intention of going anywhere.
“It’s never been a question of me leaving Chelsea. I feel good in this club and I still have plenty of things to do,” the 23-year-old Hazard said an interview on Tuesday. “It’s flattering to read that PSG are interested in me. But it doesn’t bother me. I know very well what I want to do, where I’m headed. No one will change my mind. My objective is to be the best with Chelsea.”
He is confident that playing “alongside seasoned pros like (Frank) Lampard, (John) Terry, (Peter) Cech, (Samuel) Eto’o” will help him to do that. (AP)
