Hazard rejects Real Madrid link: I'm happy at Chelsea

Eden Hazard insists he is happy at Chelsea and has no intention of leaving the club despite links with Real Madrid and Paris-Saint Germain.

The Belgium international has helped fire the Blues to the brink of a first Premier League title since 2010 with 13 goals and eight assists, and is the favourite to be named as the Professional Footballers' Association Player of the Year on Sunday.

On Wednesday Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane revealed he is keeping an eye on Hazard, sparking renewed speculation that Chelsea could be set to receive a big-money offer for their star man this summer.

But Jose Mourinho claims Hazard would cost "£100 million, each leg" and the winger himself, who signed a new long-term contract in February, insists he is fully focused on building a long-term legacy at Stamford Bridge.

"I am happy here," he told Sky Sports. "I play with big players and the most important thing is I want to win trophies and with this club, it is possible.

"[The] Champions League is difficult. We play against a big team, but one day I hope I can win this trophy as it is the best.

"All the big players have won the Champions League and I hope I can bring, like Didier [Drogba] did, the Champions League to Stamford Bridge."

Hazard admits a key reason for his contentment at Stamford Bridge is the opportunity to work with Mourinho, a coach he believes has helped him make significant improvements to his game.

"I train well with him, we work well," the Belgian added. "But the most important thing for me is he lets me play, he just asked me to be the best and he doesn't give me pressure.

"So for the player we are free and this is good. Everybody knows I like to have the ball at my feet, but without the ball I try to give everything offensively, defensively.

"This is my job. But for me, the most important thing is to create something, to score for the team or create an assist."
