Chelsea hopes of £45m Hazard replacement crushed by agent’s quotes

Chelsea hopes of signing Lorenzo Insigne this summer have been crushed by the player’s agent, who today spoke about the rumours that originated in the Sun.

The Blues have made a slow start to the transfer window, selling a few squad players but failing to get nay incoming deals over the line.

Meanwhile dangerman Eden Hazard has fractured his ankle on international duty with Belgium, leaving Antonio Conte’s side a little short in attack, especially with Diego Costa’s future in London looking very limited indeed.

Insigne was supposedly a £45m target, but today his agent crushed any hope of signing the Italian on “Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli”. The moneyman said that Insigne was happy in a Napoli shirt and that getting a new contract had been his focus.

He also cheekily pointed out that the figures quoted in the Sun would have been too low to secure his client’s services anyway.
