Indicator: Could Messi's social media activity suggest he's on his way to England?

Lionel Messi has had Chelsea fans salivating by following the club's official Instagram account.

The four-time World Player of the Year also followed ex-Barcelona teammate Cesc Fabregas and Filipe Luis, while his girlfriend followed the Blues on Twitter.

Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich reportedly reckons he could prise him away from Barcelona with some suggesting it could take as much as £200m.

The Argentinean maestro has never expressed a desire to play in the Premier League and only signed a contract extension with the Catalan giants in May 2014.

However, a move and subsequent success on English soil would help rubber stamp his name into the history books as one of the greatest footballers ever.

Messi and Hazard in the same team wouldn't be too shabby now, would it?
