These are the 2 most ridiculous Chelsea January transfer rumours

Eden Hazard to Juventus

Chelsea were heavily linked with Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci back in September, with it reported that owner Roman Abramovich was ready to splash the cash on a world-record bid for the 29-year-old.

However, other reports suggested that the Blues were willing to exchange a player and money for Bonucci, and Cesc Fabregas’ name cropped up more often than not.

Nevertheless, one name that did crop up was Eden Hazard, which seems completely ridiculous now, and pretty strange even then.

The Belgian international did not have the best of seasons last time out, but hit the ground running in this campaign, netting two goals in his first three Premier League games.

Yet it was reported that Chelsea would sell Hazard and launch a mega-money move for Bonucci as a way of lowering costs.

Hazard was arguably not in as good a form then as he is now, but he looked much more like the player that helped the Blues win the title in 2014/15, so suggestions that they were going to sell him were a complete surprise.
