— Chelsea FC (@ChelseaFC) February 12, 2015 Speaking to the club’s website, Hazard said all the appropriate things in the appropriate fashion:
I am very happy to sign a new contract with Chelsea. 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 teammates. I always try to give pleasure to the supporters with my style of play and it is nice to know they appreciate my work.
Since arriving from Lille for the 2012-13 season, Hazard has made 147 appearances for Chelsea and scored 44 goals, picked up a Europa League winner’s medal, and established himself as one of the best attacking players in the world. Still only 24, his best years are surely yet to come; now we know that, transfer market allowing, they’ll come at Stamford Bridge
