Batshuayi to stay at Chelsea as they lose out on Llorente

Batshuayi to stay at Chelsea as they lose out on Llorente

According to the Daily Mail, Everton are interested in taking Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi on loan but with Fernando Llorente set to join Tottenham, the Blues are unwilling to let the Belgian go.

Over the past few days, Llorente looked very likely to join Chelsea but their London rivals, Tottenham, have now looked to hijack their move for the Swansea striker.

If Llorente was to join Chelsea then Batshuayi, who has struggled to recreate his form from the end of last season, could have left on loan to Everton, who are in the market for a new striker.

Llorente worked with Antonio Conte and Morata for Juventus, proving to be good backups for each other in the Old Lady’s Serie A title win in that season.

Everton themselves are keen to sign a striker with a move for Arsenal’s Lucas Perez also being discussed at Goodison Park.
