Hazard has been in sensational form for Chelsea since last season and Jose Mourinho will be hoping that the Belgian keeps on performing the way he has and help Chelsea defend their title against the likes of Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal next season.
Recently, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho claimed that Eden Hazard is better than Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo. While Mourinho’s claims might be pre-mature just yet, there is no doubt that the Chelsea star is certainly capable of reaching those heights.
