''Leaving Chelsea is the biggest and toughest decision in my career to date. Now it's in the open I would like to put on record one thing was always clear to me, I have loved every moment at Chelsea and not once did I ever consider, nor would I have left for any other Club.
''Even when we were not playing well, I tried to do my best and this has been thanks to your amazing support.
''That fighting spirit, desire and the refusal to ever give up is part of the culture here at Chelsea and it comes directly from you.
''You've always supported me and encouraged me to play football and be me – Like I have enjoyed myself I hope you have enjoyed yourselves, I am only sorry not leave with a defending award amongst my honors,'' Hazard explained in a letter according to Daily Mail.
