Hazard Confirms: I Won't Be Leaving Chelsea

Hazard Confirms: I Won't Be Leaving Chelsea

Eden Hazard has ruled out a summer move to Paris Saint-Germain and confirmed his intention to stay at Chelsea.

The midfielder endured a difficult 2015-16 season at Chelsea, failing to hit the heights of the previous campaign in which he played a leading role in the Blues winning the Premier League and Capital One Cup.

Hazard, who will captain Belgium at Euro 2016 in the absence of Vincent Kompany, has continuously been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge and has been a long-term target of French champions PSG.

But Hazard insists his future is at Chelsea and says he is determined to rediscover his best form next season when new manager Antonio Conte takes charge.

"PSG are not part of my plans," the 25-year-old told TeleFoot. "I have a contract until 2020, I feel good here and I don't want to finish on a season like that.

"I left Lille as a boss, and I'd like to leave Chelsea as a boss, if I do leave one day. But for the time being I'm here, of course."

When asked about his disappointing 2015-16 campaign, Hazard added: "Everything was complicated, it was difficult.

"Honestly, for five or six years I'd always been at my best and this was the first season where it was more difficult.

"But everyone knows that in a career there are highs and lows. For the time being, touch wood, I've only experienced the highs - except for this season, when it wasn't quite as good.

"But it was meant to happen this season. I hope it doesn't happen again next season."
