Chelsea ready to involve Batshuayi in a swap deal to sign this top winger in summer

According to the reliable Belgian outlet HLN Sport, Chelsea will actively look to sell third choice striker Michy Batshuayi when the transfer window reopens.

They say that Crystal Palace, West Ham, Monaco and Marseille are all admirers of the Belgian international and could be interested.

Chelsea have been linked with a West Ham player recently in the shape of England international Declan Rice (as per The Guardian), and of course the largely reported interest they had in Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha during the winter transfer window, as per many reports including The Sun.

If Chelsea decided to push for any of these two targets, then they could look to add in Batshuayi as part of any deal in an attempt to sway the decision of the clubs and lower the fee.

Palace have so far stayed firm on keeping Zaha though, and it looks as if West Ham are doing the same with Rice as it stands. But anything can happen in this business!
