Eden Hazard drops big clue he will stay at Stamford Bridge after Watford win

The Belgian reached the milestone with the first goal of his brace in the Boxing Day win at Watford, which saw the Blues climb back above Arsenal into the top four.

Hazard has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid, but his statement suggests he is ready to commit his future to Chelsea.

"It means a lot, especially because we won today," he said.

"101 goals with this amazing club is something I will never forget but now the fans, staff and players want more.

"I want to score more for this club and then try to be a legend like Frank Lampard, Didier Drogba and John Terry."

Hazard, who previously cut a frustrated figure as a lone striker under former boss Antonio Conte, did the damage against Watford.

He opened the scoring in the first half after being played through by Chelsea pal Mateo Kovacic and rounding Hornets goalkeeper Ben Foster.

Roberto Pereyra instantly levelled for the hosts but Hazard scored the winning goal after the break from the penalty spot after being felled by Foster.

When asked about his position up front, Hazard said: "I can even play at centre back!

"My target is to score goals and to try and win the game, as a winger or a striker.

"I missed a couple of chances today, especially in the first half, but I scored two so it's important to keep focus."

Chelsea bounced back from defeat against Leicester on Saturday - their third in six games - and Hazard was pleased with the fight on show at Vicarage Road.

"We showed great character against Man City after defeat by Wolves, and today we did the same thing after a defeat to Leicester," he said. "When we fight together we are a top team."

Watford boss Javi Gracia was disappointed to head home without a point - but admitted his side were punished by the ruthless Hazard.

"I think we competed very well," he said.

"I think we started the second half well by pressing high, but in that moment if you make a mistake they can score a second goal.

"Maybe after we scored our goal, in that moment we were playing better but we conceded the second."
