Chelsea say no to Batshuayi loan

|

BatshuayiWest Ham have had a loan approach for Chelsea striker and Belgian international Michy Batshuayi rejected, according to French newspaper L’Équipe.

Lille, who had also been targeting Batshuayi on a loan deal, also appear to have had their advances turned down by the current Premier League leaders.

West Ham claimed they made a bid of £32m for the striker last June which was accepted by Marseille before the player decided to join Chelsea instead for a£33.2m transfer fee.

Batshuayi first team starts have been limited under Conte.  Asked if he had taken time to explain to Batshuayi why he had not been selected Conte said: “Yes, but usually when I talk with my players I prefer to keep it a secret what is said in the conversation. For Michy, I think that he’s working very well, he’s improving a lot, and I’m sure that in the future, he will have his chance to play.”

    Dembele is at least as good as Batshuayi, faster and younger and is settled into the UK. Sakho can do what Batshuayi does also so unless we were buying Batshuayi not sure what the benefit is. Maybe they are trying to turn us in Olympique West HaMarseille ?

      Yeah the site is a nightmare through your phone, I wish Sean and Hugh would do something about them. The diet ad bird is saying with a tub of lard on your bread you can also have a figure like hers (or mine) which comes in handy in the winter but don’t go on any japanese cruises without a harpoon proof overcoat.
