Hiddink plays down Hazard exit talk

Hazard will remain at Chelsea - Hiddink

Hiddink plays down Hazard exit talk

26 April 2016 - 13:40

Interim Chelsea boss Guus Hiddink has quashed speculation linking Eden Hazard with a summer move from Stamford Bridge. 

  • Man Utd star to sign new contract in next 24 hours
  • Napoli & Atletico want to sign Man Utd star for £24m
  • 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.
