Eden Hazard has dropped another major hint he won't be leaving Chelsea this summer after admitting he is targeting a third Premier League title next season.

Hazard continues to be linked with a move to Real Madrid despite fracturing his ankle while on international duty with Belgium.

The Belgium attacking midfielder will be ready to resume training just as the transfer window is about to close. It means the La Liga giants could still make a late move to buy him, especially if they fail to get Monaco star Kylian Mbappe.

But Hazard, who scored a personal best of 16 goals to help Chelsea win the League for a second time in three years last term, has made it clear he is content at Stamford Bridge.

The 26-year-old was voted Chelsea's Player of the Year by the club's fans last month and Hazard said: "Hopefully next year it is the same, we win the League and then I win Player of the Year. Obviously winning the League is what we want most and the award is just a bonus.

"We started this season well and we won the League, but next year we have to work as hard as we have this season. We have to be ready every year at the same level to stay at the top.

"I've been here for five years now and I'm so happy. I'm at one of the best clubs in the world, so I'm very happy to play for such a big club like this.

"After five years I know everything about the club. Even if I'm still only 26, I have a lot of experience now.

"I started playing at 16 in France so I've been professional for 10 years. In terms of games and experience, I'm one of the oldest ones. I like this club because it's like a family. I have a lot of friends and we all talk to each other."

As Standard Sport revealed last month, Chelsea have told Hazard they want to make him the focal point of the team for years to come in order to convince him to ignore a switch to the Bernabeu and sign a new contract.

Chelsea have also made it clear to both Hazard and Real Madrid that he is not for sale under any circumstances.

That statement of intent, plus Hazard's ankle problem, has led Real Madrid to switch their attentions to Monaco star Kylian Mbappe for now, but it is far from certain they will succeed.

And Chelsea are aware Real Madrid could still make another attempt if Mbappe rejects them and hope to agree a new deal worth £300,000-a-week with Hazard before then.

He still has three years left on his current contract, which pays him £200,000-a-week, but the English champions know he is now approaching the peak of his career.

Coach Antonio Conte helped him return to his best form after a disappointing 2015-16 and he thrived in the Italian's 3-4-3 formation.

Speaking to Chelsea Magazine, Hazard added: "Personally and as a team it was a very good season.

"After a bad campaign it's obviously very important to bounce back and become champions again.

"I stayed at the top level last season in almost every game so I was happy with my own form.

"I know if I score I can help the team win games and in the new system I have been closer to the goal so it's been easier to penetrate, make assists and score goals.

"But our success was down to all of the players. Everybody's form was fantastic, which was great for us."
