Ligue 1 outfit LOSC Lille are reportedly plotting a move for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.
According to a report from France Football today, Marcelo Bielsa’s side are keen to land the young Belgian, who looks set to be playing as second fiddle for Chelsea this season.
The arrival of Alvaro Morata is set to mean that Batshuayi will remain as a backup option for Antonio Conte, which has prompted interest from Lille.
It’s claimed that the French side would be willing to stump up a huge sum of €40 million for the former Marseille man, though it is unlikely that a bid worth this amount will be lodged.
The report from France Football also states that Lille regard Batshuayi as the perfect option given that he is just 23-years-old, and will have plenty of re-sale value should he hit top form with Lille.
Batshuayi signed for Chelsea last summer for a sizable price, and will be hoping to play more first-team football this season.
