Chelsea’s Eden Hazard discusses his future: I need this
EDEN HAZARD insists he is not thinking about his long-term future at Chelsea - with only winning on his agenda.
Hazard says Conte's system helped him improve this season
The Blues’ star winger has been linked with a move to Real Madrid with Zinedine Zidane keen to lure him to the Bernabeu.
However, the 26-year-old has played down the prospect of a summer switch to Spain’s capital.
Trophies are his main motivation - be they with his team or personally.
The Ballon d’Or is Hazard’s ultimate goal down the line, and he could achieve that under Antonio Conte at Chelsea.
Eden Hazard has won three trophies with Chelsea since arriving in 2012
For now, a Premier League title is in sight, and being remembered in years to come for his quality will be enough for Hazard to retire happy.
“[I am only] thinking in the present,” Hazard told The Telegraph.
“In 10 years if I don’t win the World Cup or the Euros or the Champions League and I make a great career then, for me, that’s no problem.

“I’m not focused just on titles – I need to win; I have to win.
“If I win then good but if everyone is talking about me as a great man, a great player then I will be happy.
“Even when I was a kid I was talking about winning the Ballon d’Or. OK, it’s one dream but if not then no problem.”
