Batshuayi undergoing Dortmund medical
Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi is set to have a medical with Borussia Dortmund, according to ESPN.
The striker is set to move to Dortmund as a replacement for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is set to move to Chelsea’s London rivals Arsenal for a fee rumoured to be around £60m. That move would free up Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud to then move to Chelsea to provide backup for Alvaro Morata.
The rumours of the Belgians move have been strengthened by this tweet, which appears to show him taking part in a medical at Dortmund.

The 24-year-old has made 26 appearances for Chelsea in all competitions this season, scoring 12 times and setting up a further two goals for his teammates. In addition to this, he has received three caps for his country this campaign, scoring once and getting one assist.
Chelsea currently sit third in the Premier League and will face Bournemouth tonight at home.
