Chelsea unveil new 2016/17 home kit

Chelsea have unveiled their 2016/17 home kit - and used Eden Hazard to do so.

The Belgian has endured a difficult season scoring just five goals in all competitions only a year removed from his standout PFA Player of Year award winning campaign of last term.

Hazard has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge this summer with Real Madrid and their manager Zinedine Zidane known admirers.

But perhaps in a move to quell such transfer speculation Chelsea have chosen the midfielder as part of the grand unveiling of the new 2016/17 kit.

The Blues, who always release their new livery ahead of the final home game of the season, unveiled the new strip in a Facebook Live event on Wednesday morning.

Hazard was joined by Ruben Loftus-Cheek for the big reveal of the new kit which is the traditional blue with white trim on the collar and sleeves.
