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.
