Chelsea boss Mourinho dismisses Real Madrid link for Hazard

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has dismissed talk of Eden Hazard leaving for Real Madrid.

Madrid's reserve team coach Zinedine Zidane, who is expected to become coach of the first team one day, admitted earlier this week that he is watching the 24-year-old's progress at Stamford Bridge and 'likes him a lot'.

When asked if he had any concerns about hanging on to him, Mourinho said: "No. We just signed a new contract with him. We didn't put a gun to his head. He had a lot of time to think about it. He had the family to assist him in his analysis.

"He likes Chelsea, he likes the team, he likes the link. He made a commitment for the future of the team, signing a very good contract. I don't think he's interested in going."
