Napoli's right-back still on Chelsea's radar

The 2017/18 abysmal title defense is nearing its end after a series of feeble performances by our beloved Chelsea.  However, it appears as if we are hoping to fortify our side for our future campaigns but the reality is becoming evident that new talent may simply not enlist with the Roman army as Champions league qualification is a nagging probability.

Be that as it may, the waning champions are leading the race to snatch the likes off Elseid Hysaj. This sublime right-back has been on the radar of Europe's top brands and it does appear that a move from the club is an eventuality.

Chelsea is supposedly the main club to have regular talks with his agent. It would appear  substantially more likely for the Albanian to be a consistent starter at Stamford Extension than for Liverpool or Man Joined together.

It is exceptionally uncommon that a full-back is competent on the both wings and he won’t come cheap either with his probable €50 million release clause in order to ensure a Serie A exit.

Although Victor Moses has not exactly performed as expected during this campaign my question is whether a possible limited budget would result in some unflattering personnel changes next season though.

Man City’s professionalism enforces Chelsea’s irrelevance

Yet another dismal showing from the champions ensures further unrest and uncertainties in the crippled Blues squad.   The results continue to baffle fans and has certainly damaged the fragile Chelsea brand marred by frequent personnel changes and general apathy from player and coach alike.

Fans and pundits expected a more professional showing and it appeared that all Conte wanted to achieve was to limit the Manchester juggernaut which obviously undermines the financial might invested in the squad this season.  Should we resort to grooming a player like Frank Lampard to restore the euphoria at Stamform Bridge once again which was, in my opinion, only evident during the early years of the Abramovich and Mourinho era.  In fact, this financial boost possibly resulted in a quasi-professionalism that is now resulting in our inconsistencies.  Remember the sheer entertainment that Chelsea offered before the Mourinho era though?

Will Chelsea agree to sell Cesc Fabregas to Galatasaray?

According to AMK, Conte has given the green light for Fabregas to leave Stamford Bridge as he does not have any long term role to play in the squad. Apparently, Galatasaray is prepared to pay 4.8 million-a-season contract.  This is an indication that Igor Tudor sees some value in this player who is approaching his twilight years in his career. He will do well if he settles at a club that gives him all the game play that he deserves though.

Eden Hazard is not for sale

Real Madrid is in apparent talks with Eden Hazard in a blatant poaching attempt since Zinedine Zidane's recommendation back in 2012.  The Belgian's recent performance have reaffirmed their interest along with goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois.This may entirely depend on Antonia Conte's interest in James Rodriquez who is deemed to leave the Spanish Capital and has the euphoric Stamford Bridge in mind.

However, Chelsea has reacted by renewing Hazard with a new contract and is confident that he may not consider the Madrid offer.

Chelsea fans who feel slightly anxious by the possibility of this move may find reassurance in reports of Hazard telling friend that he will be at Chelsea next season.  On the other hand, Courtois claimed that he will not join Real Madrid at the end of the season and could "certainly" sign a new contract with the blues.

Chelsea injury update: Will Hazard be able to deliver?

Chelsea will be tackling AFC Bournemouth at the Dean Court this weekend, in their second encounter, after the season's most humiliating result, a 1-0 blunder to the Cherries in December, Mourinho's last home class match before his sacking. The man in control now, Guus Hiddink, will have a completely fit squad with which to correct retribution on Saturday.

Eden Hazard is set to return from recovery  after injury kept him out since early March. He's not exactly prepared for a hour and a half, clearly, but would be great to see him play again to boost player and supporter morale.
