Chelsea midfielder Eden Hazard insists he was never likely to join Paris-Saint-Germain (PSG) after putting pen to paper on a new five-and-a-half-year deal at Stamford Bridge till 2020.
'PSG? Personally, there was never anything in that,' he told Telefoot, 'The newspapers talked about it a lot but I knew from the start I would stay at Chelsea.'
Hazard, who joined the Blues from Lille for £32 million back in 2012, is thought of as one of European football's brightest talents and it is no surprise that some of the continent's elite suitors have pursued him in recent seasons.
Chelsea played PSG in the quarter-final stage of the Champions League last season, defeating them on the away goals rule after overturning a 3-1 first-leg deficit.
