AC Milan monitoring Michy Batshuayi

AC Milan are keeping tabs on the situation of Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi. The Belgian international has struggled to displace Diego Costa from the centre-forward role this season.

Batshuayi, 23, linked up with the West London giants from Marseille over the summer despite strong interest from Crystal Palace and West Ham United.

He has since failed to earn sufficient playing time with manager Antonio Conte preferring Costa for the lone role upfront.

The former Anderlecht graduate has seen just two starts in the EFL Cup this term and according to The Mirror, the Rossoneri are weighing a potential bid for his services in the New Year.

Despite his restricted gametime, Batshuayi has netted three goals this campaign, and this is something which has caught the eye of Milan, who are eyeing a push for the Champions League places at the turn of the year.
