Jose Mourinho says he is thrilled for Eden Hazard but insists bringing home the Premier League trophy is much more important than individual accolades.

The Belgian attacking midfielder was named the PFA Player of the Year on Sunday as reward for a tremendous season and although Mourinho was delighted for his player, he wants focus on the title.

"It's more important for us to be champions but this is nice," he said.

"Obviously I'm happy for him and I'm happy for every player that helped him to achieve the level he's achieving this season, which made him win the Player of the Year."

Chelsea are 10 points ahead of the rest of the competition with five fixtures remaining as they hone in on their fifth English first division title and fourth since the Premier League started.
