Chelsea have confirmed that Eden Hazard has signed a new five-and-a-half year contract with the club.
The Belgian has been in fine form this season and already has 13 goals in 36 appearances, as the Blues continue for fight on three fronts.
“I am very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea,” Hazard told the club’s official website. “Since I came here in 2012 I have always felt good and the club has been very supportive to me.
“The manager has helped me improve a lot, the fans have been fantastic and I have an amazing understanding with my team-mates.
“I always try to give pleasure to the supporters with my style of play and it is nice to know they appreciate my work.
“I hope we can repay that support by winning lots of trophies, beginning with the Capital One Cup at Wembley, and after that, we can push hard towards the end of the season.”
Manager Jose Mourinho, who joked this week that he would have to get Hazard a special pen to sign the deal, 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.
“He is already a top player and his evolution has been fantastic. He is still very young and he can become the best.”
Hazard moved to Chelsea from Lille in 2012 and has gone on to score 43 times in 147 appearances for the Stamford Bridge outfit. He was voted the club’s Player of the Year by supporters in the 2013/2014 season.
