Jose Mourinho "very happy" to see Eden Hazard commit to Chelsea

Jose Mourinho backs Eden Hazard to "become the best" after agreeing a new long-term deal at Chelsea this afternoon.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted that there is still more to come from star man Eden Hazard, having seen the Belgian international sign a new contract at the club.

The 24-year-old put an end to speculation tipping him with a move away from West London by agreeing a five-and-a-half-year deal at Stamford Bridge earlier today.

Hazard remains a key component for Chelsea, scoring 13 times in 36 appearances this campaign to help spearhead the Blues' hopes of tasting success both domestically and in Europe.

"I am very happy that Eden has signed a new contract," Mourinho told the Premier League leaders' official website. "It shows he believes in the club's coaching staff and players to help him become the best player in the world.

"He is already a top player and his evolution has been fantastic. He is still very young and he can become the best."

Hazard joined Chelsea from Lille in 2012.
