West Ham are set to have Monaco as rivals s they bid to land Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi this summer.

The Irons are keen to make the Belgian their No 1 signing after missing out to the losing FA Cup finalists last year.

However, the French outfit have been following events at Stamford Bridge and are ready to set up a tug of war for the Blues front man.

It is understood however that the 23 year old still feels the need to prove himself in the Premier League after scoring twice in the 5-1 crushing of Sunderland.

And after only moving from the French League last summer he is believed to feel  a move back so quickly would be unhelpful at this stage.

The Irons have him at the head of their striker list as they look for the answer to their goals problem and will seriously push the boat out for him.

A source told ClaretandHugh: “Everybody knows we wanted him last season so it’s hardly a big secret how we feel about the player.”
