West Ham in for Batshuayi

West Ham are interested in signing Chelsea forward
Michy Batshuayi on loan this month, according to Sky
sources.
The Hammers made a £31m bid to Marseille for the
forward during the summer transfer window but the
23-year-old Belgian moved to Chelsea in a £33m deal
instead.
Slaven Bilic is desperate for the club to bolster their
attacking options following failed bids for Jermaine
Defoe and Scott Hogan
However, with Batshuayi struggling for game time at
the league leaders and linked with a move away to
Swansea City, West Ham look set to enter the fray
for him once again.
Batshuayi scored 26 goals in 62 games for Marseille
in Ligue 1 over two seasons, convincing Chelsea to
splash the cash on him in July.
Batshuayi was a firm target of West Ham's in the
summer, with the Hammers willing to pay £31m to
Marseille
Since his move though, the Belgium international has
found himself firmly behind the in-form Diego Costa,
and has yet to start a league game so far this
campaign.
Chelsea are currently in talks to loan Batshuayi to
Swansea in a move which will see a swap deal with
Fernando Llorente moving to Stamford Bridge.
West Ham want to sign at least one striker this
month and have already made bids for Sunderland's
Jermain Defoe and Brentford's Scott Hogan.
