One of football's most talented players will remain at Stamford Bridge until 2020.

Chelsea announced Wednesday that Eden Hazard, who arrived at the club in 2012 from Lille, agreed to a new five-and-half-year contract. Terms of the deal were not announced, but some reports suggest it will pay him £200,000 per week.

Hazard, 24, is one of the driving forces behind Chelsea's success, appearing in all 25 matches to help the team lead the league.

He's displayed continued growth year-over-year, and credits the arrival of Jose Mourinho in 2013 for the progression of his performance on the pitch.

"The manager has helped me improve a lot, the fans have been fantastic and I have an amazing understanding with my teammates," Hazard told the team's website.

"I always try to give pleasure to the supporters with my style of play and it is nice to know they appreciate my work.

"I hope we can repay that support by winning lots of trophies, beginning with the Capital One Cup at Wembley, and after that, we can push hard towards the end of the season."

Mourinho said the extension represents Hazard's trust in the club's coaching staff and teammates, and believes the team's 2013-14 Player of the Year will continue to evolve into one of the world's elite players.

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

Hazard has found the back of the net 13 times in 36 appearances, bringing his total to 43 goals through 147 matches since his arrival at Stamford Bridge.

His extension with the club comes just days before Chelsea's Champions League clash with Paris Saint-Germain, who were heavily connected with a move to lure Hazard away from London during previous transfer windows.
