Turkish club Fenerbahce have contacted Premier League club Chelsea over a possible transfer of Belgian striker Michy Batshuayi, according to a report on Get French Football, who cite Foot Mercato.
The striker was used mainly as a substitute last season under Italian head coach Antonio Conte but scored the crucial goal which made Chelsea the Premier League champions against West Bromwich Albion.
The Turkish giants have reportedly made 23-year-old Batshuayi their number one target this summer as they look to bolster their attacking options.
With Diego Costa set to leave Stamford Bridge, it was thought that Batshuayi would be given a chance to prove himself up front but it is understood that Conte still doesn’t consider the Belgian as a starting striker for the champions.
This has put Fenerbahce on full alert and the Turkish club are willing to do whatever it takes to entice the Belgian to leave the London club.
Fenerbahce are offering Batshuayi regular first-team football next season and a chance to get his career back on track after a frustrating season on the substitutes bench at Chelsea. Batshuayi made one start in the Premier League for the Blues and scored five times in the same competition.
The striker signed for Chelsea from French club Marseille last summer but found it difficult to break into the starting XI at Chelsea. The London club could be willing to loan Batshuayi for the season. Premier League rivals West Ham United are also interested in signing Batshuayi.
