Chelsea news: Leaked kit reaction, Insigne transfer boost, Hazard team of the year snub

Chelsea received a boost in their hopes of finishing in a top four position on Wednesday night.

Arsenal's 3-1 loss to Wolves means that it is now in the Blues' hands, win all of their remaining games and they will finish in at least fourth place at the end of the season.

Although that is easier said than done as the Blues' next match sees them travel to Old Trafford to take on fellow top four hopefuls Manchester United on Sunday at 4:30pm. There is a three point gap between the two teams ahead of the match.

Talking in his pre-match press conference on Thursday, Klopp revealed that the Reds will not be chasing the player for his services in the summer months.

"We will not sign Lorenzo Insigne. He has got a long-term contract in Naples. He is a very good player but we will not be signing him," he said.

The midfielder played under Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri during the Italian's time at Napoli, and Sarri may have just had a boost in the hope of signing his former player.

Eden Hazard's PFA team of the year snub

Eden Hazard has arguably been one of the most important players in blue so far this season. The Belgian has 16 league goals to his name and has assisted a further 13. Them figures put his combined total to only second behind Manchester City's Raheem Sterling.

So, many fans were left dumfounded when the PFA team of the year was released on Thursday morning and there was no sign of Eden Hazard. Instead Manchester United's Paul Pogba was selected.

A closer look at the numbers back up the claim that Hazard's non inclusion is somewhat of an unfair snub, take a look HERE as we delve into the numbers to try and find an explanation.
