Chelsea winger Eden Hazard has signed a new 5 1/2-year contract with the English Premier League leader.
The Belgium international has been one of the league's best players this season, scoring 13 goals, and was Chelsea's top scorer and player of the year last season.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says Thursday that Hazard ''is already a top player and his evolution has been fantastic. He is still very young and he can become the best.''
Hazard joined Chelsea from French club Lille in 2012.
