Sarri retains Hazard form focus
Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri says he will continue to focus on on-field matters with Eden Hazard and not concern himself with the player's potential summer exit.
Hazard has confirmed that he has made up his mind over whether to remain at Stamford Bridge or move on, but his decision has yet to be officially announced - with Real Madrid the club top of the list to sign the Belgian forward.
I speak every day with Eden, but I speak with Eden about his position on the pitch.

And Sarri says he will not get involved in the situation about the future, but will remain focused on getting the best out of Hazard for the remainder of the campaign.
He told reporters: "I speak every day with Eden, but I speak with Eden about his position on the pitch.
"I will be really very happy with him if he will want to stay, because in my opinion he's the best in Europe, but it's up to him. I want to see him happy and so, he has to decide."
Meanwhile, Sarri again voiced his pleasure at having been able to bring striker Gonzalo Higuain to the club, initially on loan from Juventus until the end of the season.
The Italian added: "I think that Gonzalo is a great player. He did very well everywhere, in Madrid, Naples and Milan, maybe not Milan.
"He is a great player and he is very useful for Eden. They are really very suitable to play together I think. It is important for us he is determined, the impact is really very good for us."
The Blues can be backed at 8/11 to finish in the top four in the Premier League this season, with Manchester United available at 11/8 and Arsenal 3/1.
