Hiddink plays down Hazard exit talk
Interim Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has quashed speculation linking Eden Hazard with a summer move from Stamford Bridge.
The Belgian international played a crucial role for the Blues last season as they went on to life the Premier League title after a five-year wait.
However, Hazard has struggled to display a similar showing this term, and this has led to suggestions that he could seek a fresh challenge in the summer.
Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid have both been linked with £70m bids for Hazard, but Hiddink was quick to rebuff gossip over the player's future.
"It's important that [Hazard] is here next year," he told Sky Sports News. "He has some more years to go on his contract. And what I do know is that he is very happy with everything at Chelsea, and everything around Chelsea. "
Hazard broke his Premier League goal duck for the season as he netted a brace in the 4-1 mauling of Bournemouth over the weekend.
