The Belgian playmaker joined the Blues in 2012 after famously announcing on Twitter that he has decided to join the Champions League winners. He is one of the first names on the team sheet at Stamford Bridge, and was last season voted as the PFA Young Player of the Year.

His impressive form, coupled with the lack of an announcement on a new deal, has led to some top European clubs vying for his services. However, Mourinho has stated that the Belgium international will shortly sign a new deal at the club, according to the Standard.

The Special One also believes Hazard can become a Blues legend as long as he helps win titles for the London side. He is quoted as saying: “Eden will sign a new deal. I was never worried about it. Since the moment I met his father and everything was very clear about their intention and their happiness to stay with Chelsea.”

“After that it becomes a numbers situation. When that happens, I’m more than happy to be out but my club has told me the situation will finish with a new contract.”

“I was never worried about that. I think he can be one of the all-time greats. But no player can be considered a legend in the club without winning titles. He has to do that.”
