Chelsea to move for Michy Batshuayi

Chelsea will challenge the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United for the services of Marseille striker Michy Batshuayi this summer. The Belgian is almost certain to leave Les Phoceens due to their ongoing financial crisis.

Batshuayi, 22, played a single hand for much of last season as he kept his side clear off the relegation places in Ligue 1.

The Mirror reports that the Blues have identified the player as a potential target with the future of Diego Costa hanging in the balance whilst Loic Remy is destined to find a new club over the summer.

Les Phoceens are currently weighing up all offers as they look to recoup as much as possible through the player.

The talented markman notched 17 goals in the French league last season.
