Chelsea FC midfielder Eden Hazard spoke to Sky Sports about the transfer rumors swirling about him but says he is not disturbed by the constant speculation. Hazard has been linked to clubs such as Real Madrid and Paris Saint Germain but there has never been any proof or indication that he is interested in leaving Chelsea but still the speculation persists.

Instead of letting the rumors swirl, Hazard did his best to end the speculation when asked about it even though he has not made things any easier with his actions. Hazard wore a PSG shirt after the 3-1 loss in Paris and mentioned how much his wife enjoyed the city and that she would ultimately decide where he played. Even if the comment about his wife was a bit tongue in cheek it did little to quell Chelsea fans’ fears that he might be on his way out.
Eden Hazard on transfer speculation:
"“If you got to know me you’d know I’m not someone who is disturbed by it. Every year they say I’m everywhere. It’s part of the job.I focus on the World Cup, which is much more important than what is said in the papers.”"
The transfer rumors were intensified when Eden Hazard and Jose Mourinho got in to a little tiff after the Blues were eliminated from the Champions League. Andre Schurrle spoke about it and said that “the manager and the club know that Eden Hazard is a very talented player. I think we should not overestimate these things. Of course statements were published, but I believe Eden is very happy to be with Chelsea and Mourinho is happy to have him. Next season everything will be all right again”.
Transfer speculation is part of football and especially when you have a player as talented as Eden Hazard. He appears to be happy in London and is well compensated for his talents so there is little reason to worry about the Belgian star leaving Chelsea.
