Fenerbahce in hunt for Michy Batshuayi

14 July 2017 - 07:55

Turkish giants Fenerbahce are weighing up a potential attempt to sign Michy Batshuayi, who played second fiddle to Diego Costa at Chelsea last season.

  • Gary Neville breaks silence on Ruben Amorim
  • Confirmed Chelsea line-up (4-2-3-1) vs Brentford, Estevao absent



  • The Belgium international snubbed advances from the likes of West Ham United and Crystal Palace last summer in order to pursue a move to the west London giants.

    However, his playing time at Stamford Bridge was more or less restricted as he was often sent as a substitute in the dying stages of Premier League games.

    Batshuayi netted a flurry of goals during the final weeks of the season, but by that time, the Blues had already lifted the English crown for a sixth time.

    According to Fanatik, Fener are keen on pushing through a deal for Batshuayi, but they will have to cough up the entire £33.2m sum, the Blues paid to Marseille a year ago.

    As a result, Batshuayi looks more likely to stay at Stamford Bridge, but it is yet to be known whether he would be the first-choice striker with Diego Costa no longer wanted by the head coach.
