Hazard will sign new Chelsea deal, says Mourinho

Thegoalmac can reveal that Jose Mourinho has reiterated his confidence that Eden Hazard will sign a new contract with Chelsea in the near future.


 Thegoalmac understands Hazard has been in talks with the Blues since June, and is ready to commit to a new deal which will make him the highest-paid player in the club's history.

Mourinho also stated that he believes the 23-year-old could become a Chelsea great if he can win silverware with the club.

"He will [sign a contract], I was never worried about it since the moment I met his father and everything was very clear about their intention and happiness with Chelsea," he told reporters.

"After that it becomes a numbers situation, when that happens I'm more than happy to be out [of the negotiations].

"But my club always told me that the situation would finish with a new contract, I was never worried about that.

"He needs to win titles because titles make players history. I don't know players considered legends in the clubs without winning titles so he has to do that, but the potential [he has] everyone knows [about]."
