Real Madrid target Hazard admits delaying Chelsea contract talks

Eden Hazard has revealed he's put off new contract talks with Chelsea to the end of the season.

Hazard, who joined Chelsea from Lille for £32m in 2012, has been made Real Madrid's main transfer target for the summer.

He said: "There is no sign of a new contract for the moment. I am focused on the last month, and we will talk later.

"It's not in my mind now. I have three years left. I just want to finish the season well and we will see afterwards."

Hazard is expected to be recalled to the starting line-up for Chelsea's game against Southampton tonight.
