Tottenham make surprise move for Michy Batshuayi

In a surprise turn of events, it seems Tottenham Hotspur have emerged as the latest potential suitors for Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi.

According to a report from French news outlet RMC Sport, though, as cited by GFFN, the Blues have rebuffed their London rivals’ approach to sign the Belgian on loan.

Batshuayi is currently included in what is a peculiar transfer triangle. It seems his future depends on whether or not Chelsea are able to recruit a new striker, as they have been chasing for the duration of the transfer window. 

The former Marseille man has been heavily linked with a move away from the club and has recently been linked with Borussia Dortmund. This would be with the view for him to arrive as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s replacement, with the Gabon international heading to Arsenal.

A move to North London for Aubameyang would mean that Olivier Giroud could become available, and Chelsea are keen to recruit the Gunners striker as their search for a target man continues.

Conclusively, that would enable Batshuayi the chance to depart Stamford Bridge, albeit on a temporary basis, and it seems he is not short of teams to choose from if he does indeed receive the chance to move.

Although, it does not look as though he will be playing out the rest of the season at Wembley, with RMC claiming he does not want to join Tottenham.

Chelsea are also rumoured to be keen on Spurs striker Fernando
