Eden Hazard can go on to become a Chelsea legend by winning titles, Jose Mourinho has claimed.
The Belgium midfielder is set to sign a new five-year contract to keep him at Stamford Bridge until 2015.
"I think he can become one of Chelsea's all-time greats," Mourinho said. "He needs to win titles, because titles make players historic.
"I don't know players who are considered legends in clubs without winning titles. He has to do that. But the potential everybody knows."
Mourinho said last week the £32m star will "soon" sign the deal and today he said: "He will. He will. I was never worried about it, since the moment I met his father. Everything was very clear about their intentions and their happiness to stay at Chelsea.
"After that, it becomes a numbers situation. When it becomes a number situation I'm more than happy to be out, but my club always told me that the situation would finish with a new contract. So I was never worried about that."

Mourinho declared Kurt Zouma will be fit to faced Stoke on Monday while he hinted Thibaut Courtois will return in goal in the place of Petr Cech.
The Blues manager said the only Quadruple he was focussing on completing was at the Britannia Stadium.
"I go match after match," he smiled. "We can do a quadruple on Monday, which is to win four consecutive matches. That's the quadruple. We have to try. If we do a few quadruples in the season, winning four matches in a row, we'll have chances to win competitions.
"But I can't think in two competitions in the same time. I can only think one at a time. Now, it's only the Premier League for the next few weeks.
"So, for the next few weeks, the Premier League is the competition that matters."
