Chelsea will reject bids for Hazard this summer and do not share the view of boo boys that he's to blame for the dismal season.
Antonio Conte's understood to be keen to work with Hazard and return him to the level that saw him win last season’s POTY award.
Hazard no longer has a mentor in the dressing room since Didier Drogba left and he is now closest to Kurt Zouma and Loic Remy.
Abramovich still hopes to bring back Drogba after his MLS contract expires and the Ivorian’s return would certainly help.
Antonio Conte has been told to give #Chelsea’s current squad core an identity - not build a new team.
What no-one at #Chelsea is proposing this summer is a wholesale clear-out of playing staff.
Chelsea believe the likes of Eden Hazard, Nemanja Matic and Oscar are good players who have had one very bad season.
Chelsea believe many of their players are good enough, but require leadership. Willian and Oscar are held in high regards.
There is no wish for history to repeat itself and #Chelsea don’t want to see some of the current crop reborn elsewhere. [Telegraph]

Eden Hazard is still suffering from a groin/hip injury. He has played on painkillers again. He's uncertain for Everton. Anyway, Chelsea are not willing to sell Eden Hazard at the moment and the player isn't pushing for a move either.
Thierry Hazard: "Eden is carrying an inflammation in the hip for 3 or 4 months now. It's not a bad injury, but it's painful. After a rest in January, Hazard was pain-free, but since a few weeks he's been suffering again. Daddy Hazard: "Chelsea push him to play."
His father also added: "Eden has a contract until 2020. At the moment, a transfer is out of question."
It's a stat, but Hazard ran 112m per min he was on the pitch vs PSG (78). Only Cesc (128m per min/93 mins played) covered more ground.
