Eden Hazard insists he is happy at Chelsea despite constant links with Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain.

Hazard has been the subject of intense speculation for the past three years at Chelsea, having established himself as the club’s best player.

He has 15 goals and nine assists in all competitions this season – more than any other player for the current champions.

The Belgian says that he is content staying at Stamford Bridge for now.

“For the time being I’m here,” he told Telefoot. “There are still some months to go and competitions to try to win, then the World Cup is coming up.

“I’m here, I still have two and a half years on my contract. I’m very settled here and playing every game.

“The fans like me a lot and my family likes it here. We’ll see.”

Asked directly about links with Real, he replied: “Yes, but it’s been several years now they’re interested.

“When it’s not Real, it’s Paris, when it’s not Paris, it’s Real. I’m happy where I am.”
