Chelsea will reject bids for Eden Hazard this summer and do not share the view of the club’s boo boys that he is to blame for the dismal season that has seen the Blues fall out of the Champions League.

Antonio Conte, who is expected to be appointed as Chelsea’s next permanent manager, is understood to be keen to work with Hazard and return the Belgian to the level that saw him win last season’s Player of the Year award.

Hazard was booed off the pitch after being substituted with a late injury in Chelsea’s Champions League defeat to Paris Saint-Germain and also received heavy criticism for swapping shirts with Angel Di Maria at half-time.
