Eden Hazard is on the verge of agreeing a new £200,000-a-week contract that will keep him at Chelsea until 2019, according to reports.
The 23-year-old, who scored in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Hull City on Saturday, is currently under contract until 2017, but Blues boss Jose Mourinho is keen to secure the Belgian forward's long-term future and has hinted that an agreement is close to being reached.
"There are no problems. It will happen soon, but I'm not worried because they are almost there," Mourinho told reporters.
"He is not worried about 'almost'. The club knows that 'almost' will become 'done', no problem."
Hazard joined Chelsea from Lille for £32m in 2012, and was the club's top goalscorer last season.
