Jose Mourinho backs Eden Hazard to become club legend

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho backs Eden Hazard to sign a new deal with the club and work towards becoming a legend at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho has challenged midfielder Eden Hazard to win titles and become a legend at Stamford Bridge, as the player edges towards a contract extension with the club.

The 23-year-old Belgium international is rumoured to be preparing to sign a new lucrative contract, with Mourinho suggesting that the playmaker has the potential to write himself into the Blues' history books.

"Hazard will sign a new contract. I've never been worried about it since I met his father and I knew about his intentions," said Mourinho, according to the Daily Mail.

"After that it becomes a numbers situation which I'm more than happy to be out of. My club has always told me the situation will finish with a new contract.

"I think he can become one of Chelsea's all-time greats but he has to win titles."

Chelsea currently hold first position in the Premier League table on 39 points, with a three-point lead over chasers Manchester City.
