Goals galore: Eden Hazard wants 60 goals next term for Chelsea (Picture: Getty)

Eden Hazard believes he will score 60 goals for Chelsea next season – under the guidance of new Blues boss Jose Mourinho.

Hazard had a largely underwhelming debut season in the Premier League following his £32million switch from Lille, but was still shortlisted for the PFA Player of the Year award.

However, the Belgian is hoping to have a big impact next season and the man tipped as the new Cristiano Ronaldo has set himself an ambitious target.

‘My dream is 50 or even 60 goals like Lionel Messi and Ronaldo,’ said Hazard.


‘They have shown it is possible, so I can do the same.



‘I had a lot of assists last season and a few goals, but the problem is that I tend to choose the beautiful option too often and dribble with the ball, when a different way would cause most damage.

‘Every year, I am improving and getting better and better, but I want to be even more effective.’

Hazard adds that his stretched target will be boosted by the appointment of Mourinho, who helped Ronaldo fulfill his potential as a potent goal-getter.

‘He’s a mystical coach, who is always being talked about. It will be a pleasure to have a coach like him,’ Hazard continued.

‘Everybody says it will be a very good thing for me.’

The 22-year-old has some way to go to get to 60 goals next term, having managed 13 in all competitions last year.

His previous best was 22 for former club Lille, although a number of those were penalties.
