Chelsea and Belgium winger Eden Hazard has snubbed reported interest from defending Champions League winners Real Madrid, saying "Chelsea is the only club that makes me dream." The 23-year-old forward has been one of The Blues' best performers this campaign, during the club's unbeaten start to the season so far.
Reports in Spain suggested that Real were willing to raise funds to buy Hazard and bring him to the Bernabeu, with the possibility of selling Gareth Bale being heavily mentioned, with the Welshman linked with a move back to the Premier League.
Hazard himself had this to say: "I never said that if I left Chelsea it will only be for Real Madrid. The only club that makes me dream is Chelsea, I made the choice to join because I knew I was going to play. This is my third year here - I don't know if I'm the main asset of the team, but I can take pleasure by playing in this team. I have no nostalgia when I look Ligue 1, I think about the future not the past. PSG have huge players, but Chelsea have more experience and more players in certain positions. And, we also have a better experience in the Champions League."
This news will come as a welcome boost for Mourinho and his men, with the winger impressing in his tenure at the club. He has already stated that he wants to become the world's best player, and has the potential to flourish at Chelsea for many years to come.
42 goals and 34 assists in all competitions, in over 100 appearances (for both Chelsea and the Belgium national side) since he became a Chelsea player back in 2012, he is a key player for sure.
