Eden Hazard has claimed that he has been ignoring all the speculation surrounding Chelsea's predicament in the Premier League.

Just six months after Jose Mourinho's side won the English title, the team are now looking at a 15th-place position in the table following just three wins in 11 games.

Hazard, who was named PFA Player of the Year last season, has failed to rediscover his form, and there have been reports that a first-team player is leading a revolt against Mourinho.

"It is the case I learn every day now," Hazard told the club's official website. "I need to train and try to forget everything and be a better player.

"We try to speak about it together. The communication is very important. We know when we are in a bad way we need to keep going with communication. People are sad when you don't win but the communication is very important and we did very well because every day we spoke together, and this is good.

"In a good moment or in a bad moment, we are professional. Personally I don't read the newspapers. I try to focus only on my football and win games."

Chelsea will take on Dynamo Kiev in the Champions League this evening.
