Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi is reportedly on his way to Borussia Dortmund to finalise his proposed loan. The Belgium international is due to undergo a medical in the coming hours before signing a temporary contract.
According to Kicker, the former Marseille man has agreed to join the Bundesliga on loan for the rest of the campaign after BvB agreed to pay around £1.3m in loan fees.
With Batshuayi's exit, Chelsea are expected to secure the signature of Olivier Giroud from Arsenal in an £18m deal with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang deemed to have already joined Arsenal from Dortmund.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger confirmed via a leaked video on Arsenal TV where he confirmed the striker's arrival, and it is only a matter of a mere announcement which is likely to be made before the transfer deadline.
Meanwhile, Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has finally got his chance to land a tall targetman, and it will be interesting to see whether Giroud will earn a regular starting role with his France World Cup hopes on the line.
