Leeds and Southampton want to sign Chelsea striker?
Leeds United and Southampton are reportedly interested in signing Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi this summer.
The Belgian has been with the Blues since the summer of 2016, but has made just 77 appearances in all competitions.
He has been away on loan at four different clubs. He is presently at Besiktas where he has netted 14 goals this term.
According to Football Insider, Batshuayi is likely to be sold by the Blues following his season-long loan at Besiktas.
The Turkish outfit have the option to buy him, but it appears that they have no plans of triggering the buy-clause available.
In such a case, the striker will return to the Blues this summer, but he could be offloaded on a permanent basis this time.
Leeds and Southampton are in the mix to land the former Marseille man, who could be available for around £10 million.
The latter were linked with him during last summer's transfer window, but a deal did not materialise due to his wages.
