At the end of the Premier League season, Eden Hazard revealed he had made a decision regarding his future.
The Belgian has been heavily linked with a nine-figure move to Real Madrid and admitted a victory against Arsenal in the Europa League final would be a ‘perfect’ send-off.
“It is a European competition, so for me, for the club, for the manager, for the fans, it is something important,” he told reporters on Monday.
“When you play a final, it does not matter whether it is the Champions League, Europa League or League Cup, you just want to win, you just want to bring the trophy home and celebrate that.
“When you play for Chelsea at the start of the season, people think about which trophy we can have at the end of May, so this one is the important one.
“We lost the EFL Cup final, so at end of the season, this is the trophy we can go for.
“I just want to win the trophy, that is it. It does not matter if I score or I do not score. If it is my last game, I hope to bring the trophy.
“Would it be the perfect farewell? Yes.”
When asked if he could ever play for another English club, Hazard vehemently denied the possibility.
“No chance, no chance. I am a Blue! It means a lot,” he said. “I cannot play for another club in the country.”
The Europa League final will take place in Baku, Azerbaijan on Wednesday.
