Hazard wants legendary status at Chelsea after reaching landmark
Amid further talk of a potential move to Real Madrid, Eden Hazard says he wants to earn legendary status at Stamford Bridge.
Eden Hazard is hungry for more goals to earn legendary status at Chelsea after scoring his 100th for the club in a 2-1 Premier League win at Watford on Boxing Day.
The Belgium forward grabbed both Chelsea goals at Vicarage Road to take his tally for the Blues to 101.
Hazard has made no secret of his desire to play for Real Madrid, but the mercurial 27-year-old wants to ensure he will go down as a great at Stamford Bridge before moving on.
He told Sky Sports: "The goals mean a lot, especially because of the win. Yes, 101 goals with this amazing club is something I will never forget. Now, I think me, the fans, the players, we want more.
"I want to score more goals for the club, and become a legend, like [Frank] Lampard, [John] Terry, [Didier] Drogba. I try to do my best, but when we are winning we can enjoy it a lot."
